There are multiple artists named Juned: 1) A Japanese band. 2) An American rock band.
1) JUNED was formed in 2004 and the current line-up consists of 3 members: Harada Akira (原田晃) for the vocals and guitar, Mouri Masafumi (毛利将文) on guitar, and Konishi Tatsuya (小西達也) on bass. They released their first single "Aioi (相生-アイオイ-)" in November 2008, which is used as the ending theme for the anime Junjou Romantica 2.
2 ) Juned formed from members of Seattle bands around 1996, Kill Sybill and My Diva. They can be considered part of the originating indie rock scene and are alumni members of the Up Records roster. Mixing hints of Seattle grunge rock with ethereal guitar and vocals, Juned travelled where few other bands did. The only other band that sounded remotely like them were Kittywinder, who broke up at almost the same time. Not so punk they'd only appeal to alternarockers, and almost melodic enough for the mainstream, they are also talented instrumentalists with catchy flavours to their playing. Their second album, Every Night For You, which stresses their melodic side just a little more than their first, is a wonderful album and should have garnered them a wider audience had they stuck together long enough to reap the rewards.
