バロック / baroque

バロック ／ b a r o q u e

baroque/バロック was a Tokyo based band that quickly rose in popularity, becoming 'Major' with unheard of speed. They were only together for three years (2001 - 2004), but they left their mark on the music scene and had a world-wide fanbase.

Their music style was and is, still, unique. In the beginning they played more of a punky sound, not really gothic or heavy. It was, in itself, melodical and punk at the same time. As time went by, their music progressed to have a more electronic whine to it which meshed with playful guitar sequences and was topped off by 怜's ever-changing, versatile voice.

Upon forming, the band retained a sort of visual kei image, but they lacked the "darker," more goth aspect visual kei usually presented. Because of this, they are considered to be the founders of oshare kei - the happier, more fashion-conscious side of the visual scene in Japan. In their later days as a band, they rid themselves of this visual style and opted for more casual, everyday clothing instead.

They broke up on September 11, 2004 just 10 days after the release of their only majors album Sug Life. The reason told to the fans for this, was that 万作 doubted his skills as a bassist, and wanted to leave the band. The other members, unable to see their band going on without their friend, also decided to end the band.
