Kuroyume 黒夢 Is A Japanese Visual Kei Rock Band Hailing From The City Of Nagoya Japan That Formed In May Of 1991 And Originally Lasted Until January Of 1999. The Band Made Its Comeback In 2011. The Band Came Into Being When Vocalist Kiyoharu 清春 From The Band ＧＡＲＮＥＴ And Guitarist Shin 臣 From GERACEE Decided To Collaborate. Kiyoharu Then Invited Hitoki 人時 The Bassist From Garnet To Join. The Band's Concept Was Based Upon The Idea Of "yume Wa Nai" Dreams Don't Exist . Kuroyume Started Their Career As One Of The Pioneers Of The Visual Rock Scene. Next To Artists Such As LUNA SEA Or The Early Works Of L'Arc～en～Ciel Kuroyume Was One Of The Most Influential And To This Day Many Artists Have Tried To Replicate The Sound Of Their Early Era. Albums During This Era Included "生きていた中絶児" Ikiteita Chuzetsuji 1992 "亡骸を…" Nakigara O... 1993 And "迷える百合達" Mayoeru Yuritachi 1994 . After Shin Left The Group Kiyoharu And Hitoki Continued As A Duo. The First Kuroyume Album Without Shin Was "feminism" 1995 . The Album Took The Band Into More Pop Territory Than They Had Ever Been Before. The Album Featured Hit Songs Such As "優しい悲劇" Yasashii Higeki And "Miss MOONLIGHT." The Follow-Up To "feminism" Was "FAKE STAR" 1996 . "FAKE STAR" Still Featured Slick Production To Appeal To The Pop Crowd And Also Featured More Songs With A Punk Edge. Also It Is Important To Say That Hitoki Played Guitar On Most Of The Band Songs After Shin Left. The Influence Of Punk Rock On Kuroyume Would Continue With Their Next Release "DRUG TREATMENT" 1997 . While Having Hit Songs Such As "NITE & DAY" And "Spray " The Album Also Contained What Would Be Their Most Punk-Influenced Works To Date. The Album Is Also Home To One Of The Most Famous Songs Kuroyume Has Ever Done "Like A Angel." Later That Year A Live Album At Shinjuku LOFT Was Released And To This Day Remains To Be One Of The Best Examples Of Kuroyume's Amazing Power While Playing Live. In 1998 Kuroyume Would Release One Last Proper Album "CORKSCREW." It Was The Most Abrasive Loud And Fast Album They Had Ever Done. While The Album Was Still Fun The Simplicity Of The Writing Began To Show. The Band Would Break Up The Following Year. Immediately Following The Break Up Kiyoharu Formed The Band SADS. That Band's Original Run Lasted Until 2003 And From 2004 Onward Kiyoharu Was Active As A Solo Artist. Unlike Kiyoharu HITOKI Returned To The Indie Scene. Along With Keeping Busy With Projects Such As HITOKI-PIRANHAHEADS SSS SUPER DROP BABIES And Dummy's Corporation Hitoki Also Served As A Session/support Musician For Many Bands And Artists Including AKI IZAM ROBOTS Creature Creature 大塚愛 And Hysteric Blue. On January 29th 2009 Kiyoharu And Hitoki Reunited For Kuroyume's "the End" ～CORKSCREW A GO GO! FINAL～ On The 10 Year Anniversary Of Their Last Live. The One-Night Event Was Supposed To Serve As The Official End Of Kuroyume. However The Following Year Kiyoharu Announced The Band's Reformation. read less
