A four-piece that built a following through live shows before their 2003 single "Fanfare" broke through.
For a sense of their sound, try "Lost breath" or "13 Gatsu No Yumemi Oka." Their fanbase calls itself the "Dear."
They never fit neatly into categories, mixing electronic, rock, and pop in ways that earned a cult favorite status early on. Songs like "Lost breath" and "13 Gatsu No Yumemi Oka" show their range, with Asagi's vocals shifting between melodic and harsh over Ruiza's layered guitar work. Their 2008 song "Blizzard" even drew attention for lyrical references that kept it off radio.
Formed in Japan in 1997, they built that following through live shows before "Fanfare" in 2003 gave them a wider breakthrough. Their catalog includes eight studio albums, with 2006's "The Nameless Liberty" leaning experimental and 2016's "Eclipse" showing a more melodic side.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
