l * Kagerou * l

Kagerou was a Japanese Visual Kei-themed rock band. kagerou formed in September 1999 by vocalist Daisuke, and bassist MASAYA, soon to be joined by guitarist Yuana. After their time on record label Loop Ash, in 2000 kagerou transferred to label Lizard inside of Free-Will. After having gained great popularity among the Japanese Visual Kei audience, they went abroad in 2005; playing in Germany and France.

At the live of September 16, 2006, at Liquid Room Ebisu, they stated their disbandment. Their comment on the 19th on their official site states it took place on January 2007, after a final tour in late October & November. On December 27, 2006 they released a final greatest hits album entitled Shinjuka.

Kagerou was a band in the Japanese Visual Kei style, which is characterized by its obscure and androgynous look, unique in its own way and elegant in its fabric. Although Kagerou used less make-up and wore simplified stage outfits in comparison to most Visual Kei bands, they were still considered a Visual Kei band.

Kagerou means "mayfly" in the Japanese language. Mayflies can be as old as three years. However, when mayflies reach their adulthood, their life span varies from two hours to three days. This short life span relates to Kagerou's vocalist Daisuke. Daisuke has suffered from heart related problems since infancy. Each day there is a chance his heart will give up. In honor of him, they decided to name the band Kagerou.

de la kagerou imi place urami koto si mi se pare foarte sweet daisuke :)

imi place acesta trupa
au multe melodii dragute un din ele este "Yubikiri"

imi plac foarte mult pozele lor

Poor Daisuke D;

They were great , imi vine sa plang cand ma gandesc ca s-au despartit . Daisuke are o trupa noua , The Studs , dar nu e asa de buna ca si kagerou .

Toate cantecele lor sunt pure awesomness , dar ador : Doctor no Interest , Holy Needle , Saigo no Kensa si Chita Akashin . *- *

foarte faine pozele si mie imi pare rau ca s-au despartit
