Band

      To understand D, it is best to start at the beginning... Asagi, Ruiza, and Sin are no strangers to the music scene, as they were all part of Kisaki's project Syndrome. * Kisaki was La:Sadies, aka Dir en grey's, bassist before they went major incase you didn't know * Sydrome was formed in 2000 by Tatsuya on vocals, Ruiza on guitar, Ken on second guitar, Shion on drums, and Kisaki himself on bass. Needless to say, they did quite well in their 2 years, with quite a few releases. At an appearance at Brand X they announced that Tatsuya and Ken would be leaving the band. Ruiza and Shion convinced Kisaki to continue Syndrome and to look for new members. It's not long before they find Asagi to take over vocals and Sin to play guitar. For whatever reason, Syndrome stopped activity in Novemeber of 2002.

Ken went on to become a guitarist of Merry, Shion is the drummer of Shelly Trip Realize, Tatsuya is the singer of the group Lez, and the rather infamous, Kisaki, is of course busy with his many projects and solo career.

After Syndrome disbanded in 2002, Asagi, Ruiza, and Sin formed D with Hiroki and Rena. Their first appearance takes place April 6, 2003 at Kawasaki club citta but is followed not long after, in June, with Sin leaving the group. The maxi-single, New Blood, is released on June 18th quickly followed by Ruiza ending up hospitalized for unknown reasons. He remains in recovery until September. The members of D do their best to carry on without Ruiza and temporarily change their name to Night of the Children. It is during this time that Hide-zou joins. On November 27, 2003 they hold their first one man, Believe or not Believe, at Meguro rock'n'roll may kan. This is where the single, Alice, was distributed. The next release, the maxi-single, Paradox, is recieved very well and reaches 13th on the Oricon Indies Chart. Their latest release is entitled 夢なりし空中庭園, Yume Narishi Kuuchuu Teien, is their 3rd maxi-single, and was just released on May 12, 2004.

However, their English pages do not have nearly the content that the French and other language pages do. If there are any glaring errors in this band biography, it is probably due to my mistake in the translation process. If there are any problems please let me know.
