D'espairsRay Announce Immediate Break-Up

2011-06-16T13:24:00.001+07:00

With their Yokohama performance last year on December 30th at Yokohama BLITZ D'espairsRay had been going on a break to support the healing of vocalist HIZUMI's throat condition.

As of today, June 15th 2011, D'espairsRay have announced their immediate disbanding which has become the final result of talks between staff and members and been announced on the official homepage.

The members have each left a statement on the homepage, HIZUMI's looking as follows:

"For the treatment of my through we have gone on an infinite hiatus and while having undergone acupuncture, chiropractic and Qigong, even now the restoration of it is not yet in sight. As a result of the talks with all four members and since we can't revive activities like this, it is like a natural extinction. We came to the conclusion that we should break this up with dignity.

Please, everyone, who had hoped for our return, forgive us this betrayal it has become.

Unfortunately we also can't be doing a final live, but I hope we can return something to you in a different shape.

With the beginning of this band, a number of meetings have come about and through joyful, sad and tough times, there hadn't been a single superfluous experience.
Thank you to everyone who loved D'espairsRay for these 11 years."
-- HIZUMI

We sincerely wish our very best to all band members and hope they find a new path for themselves, while continuously hoping for HIZUMI's recovery.

Electro-industrial noise trio Despair formed in Tokyo in October 2001 under the name "Der Gestaltkries", which was a homage to the late 1960s political group "S.P.K.-Sozialistische Patienten Kollektive-" ("S.P.K" jointly owned "Der Gestaltkries", which was part of Heidelberg University’s Department of Medicine’s neuro-psychiatry wing). The original line-up was Ana (vocals and noise), Rieu (vocals and synth) and Seiji (keyboard and synth). However, in April 2002 "Der Gestaltkries" changed their name and became Despair.

Taking influences from Atari Teenage Riot, Unter Null, Marilyn Manson and Queen Adreena, amongst others, Despair’s "uncompromisingly aggressive sound" and dedication to making all their sounds through synths, saw their popularity in the Japanese underground scene grow rapidly and they played at events such as "Tokyo Dark Castle" and "Party Monsters Collection". In 2005 they proved that their success wasn’t limited to Japan when they made their European debut. They played dates in the UK and Germany (Wave Gotik Treffen) along with Psyclon Nine and Haujobb. That same year Seiji quit the band and was replaced by Jude.

Despair are defintely a live-based band, with most of their CDs being free distributions at shows. However, their 1st and 2nd mini-albums, "A Method of Abstract Overload" and "Deserted Technology Riot" were available internationally through their site. They also released a European version of their 1st maxi single "Beautiful Japanese Sight" in 2004.

Despair are still gaining popularity and have been featured on the upcoming compilation album "Darkest Labyrinth Vol. 2". They will also take part in a live of the same title on March 24th 2007 along with bands such as BLOOD, Rose de Reficul et Guiggles, The Candy Spooky Theater and Suicide Ali. In addition to this, Jude, will also be performing in Europe in February as part of electro band Sins of the Flesh along with The Pussybats and Aural Vampire.

After the disbandment of Schwardix Marvally, HIZAKI launched his solo career and is currently lead guitarist in the band Versailles, Rum apparently left the music scene, and Hisui has only played in a few sessions bands.

LET'S LEARN JAPANESE (Part 1)

2011-03-19T14:17:00.003+07:00

Ohisashiburiiii.... ^^ minna ogenki?? it's been a long time I didn't post here =) too busy with reality.. hahha.. well.. as my first post in this year, LET'S LEARN JAPANESE again =D.. here we go..

Another simple notes from me =).. Let’s start with learning Japanese from the beginning. Ja, nihongo o benkyoushimasho! =) Let’s start from particle “wa” (は). “Wa” has several usages，but its basic function is to set off a topic (e.g.，of conversation) from the rest of the sentence, which talks about the topic.

1. Indicates that information is being presented about something that is already known or that has been identified
EXAMPLE :

あそこに赤い本がありますね。あれは漢字の本です。
(Asoko ni akai hon ga arimasu ne. Are wa kanji no hon desu.)
Over there is a red book, ri ght. It's a kanji book /See the red book over
there? That' s a kanji book.

あの大学は、四谷駅の近くにあります。
Ano daigaku wa Yotsuya-ekino chikaku ni arimasu.
That university-it's near Yotsuya Station/T hat university is near Yotsuya
Station

2. Indicates a topic, which is identified or explained
EXAMPLE :

明日は日曜日です。
(Ashita wa nichiyobi desu.)
As for tomorrow，it' s Sunday/Tomorrow is Sunday.

鯨は魚ではありません。
(Kujira wa sakana de wa arimasen.)
As for the whale, it is not a fish /The whale is not a fish

3. In the construction N + wa N + g，waindicates a topic (the
first noun) about which an aspect or quality (the second noun) is explained
EXAMPLE :

象は鼻が長いです。
(Zo wa hana ga nagai desu.)
The elephantーits nose is long/Elephants have long noses.

竹本さんは性格が優しいです。
(Takemoto-san wa seikaku ga yasashii desu.)
As for Takemoto, her personality is gentle/Takemoto has a gentle nature.

4. Used to show contrast between two items or ideas, both of which are signified by wa
EXAMPLE :

漢字は難しいですが、日本語の文法はあまり難しくないんです。
(Kanji wa muzukashii desu ga Nihon-go no bunpo wa amari muzukashikunai-n
desu.)
Kanji are difficult, but Japanese grammar is not very difficult.

北海道の冬は寒いですが、東京は暖かいです。
(Hokkaido no you wa samui desu ga, Tokyo wa atatakai desu.
Hokkaido winter is cold, but Tokyo [winter] is warm/
It's cold in Hokkaido in the winter, but warm in Tokyo

5. In the forms V-te wa iru (first example below) and V-masu
base followed by wa and suru (second and third examples)
indicates emphasis. See also te - wa
EXAMPLE :

コンピュータを持つてはいますが、まだ使って(は)いません。
(Konpyuta o motte wa imasu ga mada tsukatte (wa)imasen.)
I own a computer [I do own a computer], but I haven't used it.

あの人を知つてはいますが、あまり話したことはありません。
Ano hito o shitte wa imasu ga, amari hanashita koto wa arimasen.
I know him, but I haven't spoken to him much.

Guest Members:

Started: 2006
Status: Active

PROFILE :

-qiche- is the solo project of the musician Juya. Juya had previously been a member/support member of numerous bands including Feather, Se’ikspia, AMETHYST, Viole Stolz, D’AIR and BLOOD, as guitarist, vocalist or bassist and has also modelled for the clothing company ATELIER R-ZERO. However, in June 2006 he announced that he was to start his solo project -qiche-. This announcement was followed by the release of his first mini-album "-silent stream-" in December of that year. Although -qiche- is a solo project, Juya also has help from guests moop (musicians and sound production), Takako Sumi (vocals, from Toxic under delica) and Hisame (vocals, ex member of Brandƒ³).

After the release of his first mini-ablum, he released "Like an Edison Special Limited Disc ’Dramatic pool’", a remix CD released with the help of the music shop Like an Edison and "-qiche- SPECIAL LIMITED DISC" through the online music shop Brand-X. -qiche-’s first maxi single, "Light", was then released in February 2007. The single featured Hisami as the vocalist and consisted of 5 tracks, including "Kannazuki Gensou", which was previously a Viole Stolz song.

In March 2007, -qiche- played at the limited live event "Visualive presents, Visual binary vol.10 ’Cherry blossoms bloom’", at which he played bass along with support members Hisami (vocals), HAKU (guitar, from Anubis), Tetsu (guitar, ex. Gimmick) and U-YA (drums, ex D’AIR). Later that month, he also participated in the compilation CD "Darkest Labyrinth", with the Mog Decorate Mix of "-silent stream-", along with artists such as BLOOD, BAAL, The Candy Spooky Theater, Calmando Qual and Despair. Following this, in July 2007, Juya remixed a song for BLOOD’s album Les Fleurs du Mal.

In mid 2007 Juya announced he would not be conducting any more lives, but still produce music. He is currently helping Nagi (ex-D’AIR vocalist) in his solo project, Visui.

In 2004, they finally recorded their first mini album "Rubic Cube" and it came as a big success. On August 29th, Luvie succeeded in playing their first concert in Meguro.

In February 2005, Yuu joined Luvie as the new guitarist. The band recorded a new maxi single called "Kuroneko". Soon after, two other singles were released: "Sleepy Under Sun" and "Invisible Sun". That year, they also did a coupling tour with Girugamesh which ended with a live in Shibuya O-West.

Things were going great and Luvie announced that they would release a new album. Suddenly, Keito (drummer), decided to leave the band. Since he left, there has been no further news of a new album.

BIOGRAPHY
Jasmine You entered the visual kei scene after joining 雀羅-jyakura-, an indies band based in Nagoya that managed to become pretty succesful in the scene. After they disbanded in 2003, You decided not to join another full-time band and only played in some session bands.
In 2006 he was invited by his long-time friend HIZAKI to join his solo project, and in early 2007 he also took part to the theatrical rock show Node of scherzo.

According to some interviews, it looks like You has never been officially invited to join Versailles. He was hanging around with KAMIJO and HIZAKI a lot at that time and it just felt natural to have him in the band. In the indies days he was in charge of the business side of the band, having a lot of contacts with other musicians, shops and companies.

DELUHI Lyrics

DELUHI Lyrics

- Baby Play -
Break it ! By yourself
Smash it ! With your hands
Wreck it ! No brainer ! Don't think !
Shout it ! 「Baby play」

Break it ! By yourself
Smash it ! With your hands
Wreck it ! No brainer ! Don't think !
Shout it ! 「Baby play」

Our country is wasted
We all have no way out
Our country is collapsing
Can't do anything...

We should return to [0] now
We should return to [A] now
We should return to our birth now
All is baby play
it is such baby play

Break it ! By yourself
Smash it ! With your hands
Wreck it ! No brainer ! Don't think !
Shout it ! 「Baby play」

Our country is wasted
We all have no way out
Our country is collapsing
Can't do anything...

We should return to [0] now
We should return to [A] now
We should return to our birth now
All is baby play
it is such baby play

The world against the weak
The nation cannot speak
The power of the country is a force
for the person concerned only
Somebody is sacrificed for their dirty pleasure
So I wanna change the world
Not a difficult thing

We should return to [0] now
We should return to [A] now
We should return to our birth now
All is baby play
it is such baby play"

Vocals: Maya
Guitar: Aiji

Started: 2006
Status: Active

PROFILE :

Created by ex-Miyavi support guitarist Maya and ex-PIERROT guitarist Aiji, Lovely Mocochang or better known as LM.C debuted on the music scene in the Fall of 2006 with their October 4th release of Trailers Gold and Trailers Silver. Being only their first singles, they hit the top 20 on the Oricon music charts.

Trading the guitar in for vocals, Maya with Aiji on guitar and backed up by a support band, LM.C released their third single OH MY JULIET from their first mini-album GLITTER LOUD BOX in January of 2007. Included with the mini album, a DVD titled LM.C 2006 Works which documented the duo’s time in the studio working on the album along with an accompanying photoshoot and the creation of their first PV.

With the recent release of their fourth single BOY&GIRLS, LM.C’s future looks bright thanks in part to their hybrid mixture of rap rock sound that has helped them to be recognized as one of the most unique j-rock bands in Japan. Not following the usual trends and styles other bands seemingly settle into.

MEMBERS :
Guitar: Ryouki

Guitar: Yuma
Bass: Saburou
Bass: Oto
Vocals: Tenten

Started: 2004
Status: Disbanded 2007

PROFILE :

KuRt was formed by former members of Hanamuke, Yuma and Tenten. They released their first single Oritamishiki Ojiichan in January 2005, which was limited to 2000 copies and sold out very quickly. Their next single was titled Saraba BAMBI, and only available through mail order. Two months later, they played their first one-man live titled "Kihibikiiyako 3 Hiki ~Sendai Hen~", and also released their first full length album Junketsu Sengishiri Metsuretsu.

The band toured throughout the time they were together, participating in such tours as Cannonball vol. 2, and the 8th anniversary event for Takadanobaba AREA. They also went on tour with Vidoll and bis and in November they participated in "UNDERCODE PRODUCTIONS SPECIAL TOUR: NIHON SEIATSU TOUR 2005" before finishing off the year with a one man live at the Shibuya Ax.
They continued to tour throughout 2006, and even made appearances in Korea. A few months upon returning to Japan, Tenten announced he would be leaving the band. Oddly, this news came on his blog rather than at a live showing. The remaining band members of KuRt didn’t want to replace Tenten and decided to play their final show. Tenten didn’t show up, and KuRt was forced to play without a vocalist. As a final farewell, THEE SPIDER EFFECT was pressed as a compilation CD containing all six of the singles released for the series. It was limited to only 2000 copies and also included a DVD featuring three new PVs.

Kuroyume Profile

MEMBERS :
Vocals: Kiyoharu
Bass: Hitoki
Guitar: Sho

Started: 1991
Status: Disbanded

PROFILE :

After a period of time of doing small gigs and performances for pubs, the band released their debut album Chuuzetsu in 1992, which was shortly followed by a mini album entitled Ikiteita Chuzetsuji... (remastered from an old demo tape).

In 1994, the band released their first major label single For Dear to promote the forthcoming album Mayoeri Yuritachi. The band also dropped its’ very heavy Visual Kei look to a more conservative (but still very Visual Kei influenced) look, and their songs became more loud and abrasive. In 1995 Shin left the group to focus upon Vinyl, the other band he was in.

After this Kuroyume performed as a duet and eventually disbanded in 1998. Kuroyume has been looked upon as one of the greatest influences in the 1990 Visual Kei scene, and continues to influence newer Visual Kei bands.

BIOGRAPHY :

Based out of Kyushuu the band R-18 originally had the name ‘Catheline’. Mamo chose their first name, stating that he thought it would be a cool name for a band. However, in April of 2007 they decided to change from Catheline to R-18 and also underwent a style makeover.

Under the name Catheline they released one demo single, a coupling CD with CLUTCH and appeared on three omnibus DVDs. They had planned to release a mini-album entitled “Beauty’s dead” on March 14th 2007, however, from January to April of 2007 vocalist Mamo had been suffering from hearing problems, and was unable to perform for a total of almost two months. At that time they also had to cancel a few lives and a tour. The mini-album was never released.

On April 25th 2007 the band released a single called Nihil Party, which was collection of most of the songs they had created as Catheline, minus Kuroneko. Technically, the band decided that Catheline had ‘disbanded’ on the 25th of March. So in a sense the renaming of the band was a complete rebirth for the band. New costumes, new journals, a new OHP. Shortly after changing their to R-18, they changed it once again to R-15 and under this name, they will hopefully continue to grow and succeed in the visual scene.

ｇｏｓｓｉｐ Profile

gossip is a Japanese indies visual kei band with a dark and sinister edge that was formed in Tokyo in early 2005 by vocalist Hiro. Their first live took place at Takadanobaba AREA on May 11th.

Aside from their mini-album, gossip released a number of exceptional singles before disbanding after their one-man FINAL CALL at Takadanobaba Area on February 21, 2008. Though the band only had a lifetime of about three years, it was made of already experienced musicians who were able to create a number of very moving songs and give impressive lives during that time. Fans of rock and especially the visual scene who may not be familiar with this band yet should certainly check them out.

Galneryus Profile

Galneryus is a Japanese Power Metal band formed in early 2001 by guitarist Syu and vocalist YAMA-B. They play material inspired by metal legends Dream Theater, Stratovarius, and X JAPAN.

The current members are Syu (guitar), Yu-to who replaced tsui in 2003 (bass), YUHKI (keyboard) and JUNICHI (drums.) Veterans of the heavy metal scene, they set to work assembling a band. Syu, known as guitarist for the indie heavy metal bands VALKYR, Animetal and AUSHVITZ, where he also served as lead vocalist, and vocalist YAMA-B, who worked with bands Gunbridge and REKION, originally were joined by keyboardist A (of Valkyr) and drummer Toshihiro Yui (Formerly of Honey Quest and Cemetary.) They soon were to recruit keyboardist Yuhki, of Ark Storm, and drummer Junichi Satoh. After Tsui left in 2006, they recruited yu-to of DELUHI. They were signed to VAP Records. Syu writes music for the band and contributed his deep, roaring vocals, while lead vocalist Yama-B contributes the songwriting, with lyrics and song titles in English. Galneryus has a dress style that borders on the style of visual kei, with medievally styled and leather dress, toting instruments with coloration to match,although recently they have set for a more casual style.

Galneryus’ first album was the Rock opera styled Flag of Punishment. Through a few loosely tied songs, this album seems to tell the story of a revolution to gain freedom, and its victories and losses. The second album, Advance to the Fall seems to be more of a straightforward album, which doesn’t tell a specific story, but rather tells a collection of smaller stories for the sake of standalone pieces. Cover art for both albums is that of Yoshitaka Amano, artist for the Final Fantasy series of video games.

In 2008, Vocalist YAMA-B left the band due to creative differences. A replacement has yet to be announced.

Other former temporary members are Yoshinori Kataoka (keyboards), Yusuke (bass)

MEMBERS :
Vocals/Guitar: Seiji Kakuzaki
Guitar: Jiro Ito
Drums: Hisao Hashimoto
Bass: Kenji Minagawa

Started: 1991
Status: Inactive

PROFILE :

Intestine Baalism was formed by Seiji Kakuzaki, Takeshi Ohkouchi, and some other unknowns in 1991. Earlier, they played thrash metal, but after Katsumasa Toshida joined in 1992, they became what the band is know for now: death metal. "The Energumenus" was their first release, and was just a demo in 1994. In a short time, it sold 500 copies and, excouraged by this, the band searched for a label to spread their music internationally. Repulse Records gave them what they wanted, so they signed with them and released "An Anatomy of the Beast" in 1997.

This album, around the world, was accepted as one of the most amazing death metal albums released, but soon later, they came down with unexpected problems. They paused their activities and inthat time, Takeshi, one of the founding members, left the band. The last two members (Seiji and Katsumasa) searched for replacements, but found none. Even so, in 1997 they began recording once again.

In 2000, Seiji and Katsumasa recruited Jiro Ito on guitar and Hisao Hashimoto on the drums. With these new members, they finished recording "Banquet in the Darkness" by the end of 2000. This album was released by Blackend Records in April of 2003. This album was ranked very highly, and had dozens upon dozens of reviews in magazines such as Rockhard and Legacy. "An Anatomy of the Beast" wa rereleased in 2003 by their new label, Blackend Records.

Sadly, at the end of 2003, Katsumasa Yoshida left the band and was replaced by Kenji Minagawa, who actually participated in the recording of one track from "Banquet in the Darkness". It is said a third album is in the works....

PS: Intestine Baalism is a term for the Sumerian god of the harvest (or Baal).

LIVE REPORT FROM DARK SHIBUYA @ Piset Mall 25.07.09

After a very long hiatus, last Saturday, I went to DARK SHIBUYA, a band parade event. There were so many bands play visual kei songs, metal or even pop. But I didn’t listened to pop’s band because I was not interested in pop :p.

Here the list of bands which played on this event, as long as I remembered! Hahaha..

1. Sixtynine, I saw them played TRICKSTAR and BORN from DespairsRay. At first they were played well enough. The vocal is good and they were played in harmony. but when they played BORN, the music was a little bit messed up. The keyboard is not in a synchronic rhythm and the other guitar also. I wondered why they have to added more guitar here, because I think it’s messed up the tempo. The others have been played well. Hope they can play more beautiful next time ^^ ganbatte, ne!

2. Pochi Monchi, they are Dir en Grey’s band cover. They played Jessica, Clever Sleazoid and they also played their song called TROJAN. I enjoyed their performance. But, when they played Jessica, the tone have gone wrong a bit :p but it’s okay. I was mesmerized by their live when they played their own song, TROJAN. Their song was amazing! I like the bass played very much! The bassist played very well and professional!! That was so wonderful *0* I hope they created new song which as beautiful as TROJAN ^^.

3. BAKUHAZE, Lynch’s band cover. They played well, but please keep up the hard work, guys! Hope u all can performed better next time. From time to time, I saw u all played better and better.. so, ganbatte!!

4. LUST for VIRGIN, They played Deathgaze’s song. They played so well, the bass and the guitar were in rhythm, more over the drums, it was so good. I love Deathgaze so much! So, thank you for your performance! Make me happy! ^^ hehehe..

5. BLACK CANDLE, They played Janne Da Arc songs. I’m not into JDA, but I knew several songs from them. And I think they played good, especially the guitar! But I think the vocal was a little bit disappointed he can’t reach the high pitch well. May be because he was exhausted, but all of it they played so well. Me and my friends hold our breath when they played. Yea.. we were mesmerized by the guitars! Haha..

6. VISUAL BLOOD, band cover of Maximum The Hormone and GIRUGAMESH. I love their performance when they played DEKI AWARE from GIRUGAMESH. It’s feel so good and I went nostalgic when I heard the song. I remembered one of funny video about girugamesh. They wear a horse mask when they played DEKI AWARE. Well, to be exact it’s Nii and Ryo who wear it! xDDD.. they are so funny! Well, good performance by VISUAL BLOOD, and I enjoyed it, guys! (thx 4 my friends who told me the right name of the band >_<)

7. BLACK FUJI, Dir en Grey’s band cover. They played good, I enjoyed their performance.

8. SUICIDE MAYA, Sadie’s band cover. They always played MEISAI, agravated melodrama, hado, etc. They were played good. It’s a little bit disappointed for me because they didn’t make up like always they did. It will give they another plus point ^^. Please keep up your band’s image.. we all have our unique site.. please be more of yourself, no matter what people’s say, ne? GANBATTE!

9. KISABAN, I didn’t saw them played, because I had went home >_<, but as long as I know, they were band cover of DEATHGAZE and MUCC. I don’t want to insult any bands or community here.. I just want to encourage them to play better and keep their hard work!! GANBATTE ne, minna! xD
