KuroYume Mania!
Kuroyume were...
About...
Kuroyume is very Strange band, which mean their is only Bass and Vocal
BUT they are very success and famous. They get more famous when they lose
members. In their Indies-time period
there was a Guitarist and Drumer. The Drumer left the band(named ?)
and Kuroyume were Vocal-Kiyoharu, Bass-Hitoki, Guitar-Sho. They made
3 Demo tapes in that time, Single "Chuzetsu," Mini Album "Ikite ita
Chuzetsu ji" and Album "Naki Gala."
The band made it to Major Debut and got out First Single "For Dear"
c/w "Die" with Drumer Hiro. So far got out 6 Major Albums! "Mayoeru Yuri tachi,"
"Cruel," "Feminism," "Fakestar," "Drug Treatment,"1997 10.31 LIVE AT Sinjiku Loft,"
and New Album "Cockcrew."
Also 9 Major Singles, "for dear" "ICE MY LIFE" "Yasashi Higeki" "Miss Moonlight"
"BEAMS" "SEE YOU" "Pistol" "NITE&DAY" "LIKE@ANGEL" "SPRAY" "Shonen" and "MARIA."
It is very interesting how Kuroyume's Music change in time. Every time
when they lose band members, they get more famous. Every Album you could enjoy,
every Album has different style and taste. I love all the Albums, AND THE SINGLES
because all the c/w songs is not in the Album and has great songs in it!.
There live concerts is exellent, such as the "live boys only"(Video),
they sing all the fast songs with screaming voice(which you don't
hear in the CD), I love it. Last year 1997
they went over 100 lives all over Japan. This year they had one single
and got out New Album "Corkscrew."
Album Review
In this album it is not bad, the Song "Kuroyume" is tight!
And I Love these Evil style. This Album now is Rare so it cost some $$
than usual ones, I think their is only used ones left over.
In this album, there is songs that you could hear nice. Hole rank
is B. Track one is like a piano intro of the Album and just suddently
heavy Music starts. It is
so tight! I give an A.
An B(good) Album. Got more pop than last album
Kuroyume are...
An good Album. You can't believe that they lose a Guitarist.
The Style is soft-Rock playing pop Music.
Their new Style of Music. When you want to hear "FakeStar" you should hear from track one.
Music style to PUNK
First Live CD. In this Album all songs is in Live version. It starts
from "Fakestar." No stop continue track 2, "Drive." The place that
they are playing, is Shinjiku Loft which is very very small place to
have Live(Only fit about 300 people). Why they pick this place? Because
5 years before from that year, at the same date, Kuroyume had their
first live stage at their. And only special people in the Fan Club
got picked to go to this stage(about 300 people). At 1998 1.16 had
this live Video sold(cost 5,000 yen).

Vocal-Kiyoharu
Bass-Hitoki
Guitar-Sho
"Naki Gala o"
Indies-time Full Album
Very Dark image, evil, they have fast songs with kiyoharu's screaming voice
, and also some melodish songs.
The CD Album size's case is little bit wider, they have little more
pages in it,(like the "Dahila" Album of X-japan). They have picture
of Kiyoharu with long colorful hair, picture of sho, and Hitoki with
little make-up. Like I say it is very similer to band Laputa in indies time,
then I saw the back page, it says Thanks to aki+tomomi(Laputa) in 1992,
it is before Junji and kouichi joins in. At the drumer it says "Mr. ?"
maybe and maybe it could be the drumer is tomomi. It is by "La T miss"
"Ikite ita Chuzetsu ji"
Indies time mini Album.
There image in this time is very dark and Evil and freaky, Screaming voice and fast
tempo Music, it was very very simliar to band Laputa in their Indies time.
The Bass's Distrotion is same, and also the guitar
has a close sound to it. Places like how they use Kanji words, the style is same.
Who likes heavy Music and Laputa should buy this.
In this Album's Jacket's color is only Black and White, in the front's
picture you could see Kiyoharu with long hair, blood in the left hand toching his face,
on the left of the picture.
Hitoki with very long hair up side down with the body dying, blood coming
out from mouth and stomach, stabing with a knife and laying in the very front
of the picture. Sho as will blood from the forehead dying in the right of the picture.
It doesn't say when its made
but it says produced by "La T miss", and cost 2,500 Yen(about 23 U.S dollars).
An Kuroyume Sticker inside, size of 12-inch CD Album.
Total of 6 songs...
