girugamesh (ギルガメッシュ, girugamesshu) is a Japanese rock band, formed in 2003. The name is derived from the epic poem Gilgamesh. The music of girugamesh is heavy rock with gloomy undertones, but recently the band has been experimenting with electronic sounds.

Formed in 2003 in Chiba, Shuu and Nii had been friends since elementary school, the earliest incarnation of the band made its first performance while the members were still in high school.Girugamesh began playing gigs in 2004, until they were signed to record label Gaina-Japan. Their first major single, “Kaisen Sengen” was ranked #10 on the Oricon Indies chart. In 2005, Girugamesh embarked on a nation-wide tour, after which they released their first live DVD, featuring footage from the tour, and after more touring, released an EP, Goku - Shohankei Enban.

In 2007, girugamesh was signed to the European label Gan-Shin. The band then was part of a 9-band Japanese rock festival in Los Angeles, California called “J-Rock Revolution”. They were part of the second night alongside Merry, D’espairsRay, and Mucc. Around the time of J-Rock Revolution, some of the performing bands released material on the iTunes Music Store, including Girugamesh. On this, Ryo has commented that “if you really like the band after the initial listen, you will buy the original CD.”

    I agree 110% with cure4thcommon. I'm just still not quite sure why people are bitching that last.fm changed the display name to the one that the band created themselves and still use themselves on a daily basis. If you know that ギルガメッシュ = girugamesh--regardless of whether you can write it or not--what's the big fucking deal?

    "the only people that care about this shit are the weaboos" Actually I've done a study and the weeaboos are more likely to tag in romaji. An example is HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR where the song 一輪の花 (romaji: Ichirin no Hana) which was used in Bleach (or Naruto, one of those wankfests) is the top song yet it's tagged in romaji. Therefore I just proved you wrong. tl;dr Weeaboos fap over Bleach. (inb4 weeaboo, yeah I'm a weeaboo but anime is SHIT).

    ギルガメッシュ <<--- I just wrote it. I'm American, and have a typical American bought computer. It's called a language packet. That is the band's name. Even if you google them, "ギルガメッシュ official website" is what comes up. Kinda self explanatory. Label your library how you like. Bot at least acknowledge it's for yourself and don't blame it on the "weeaboos". That's just lame.

    theyre both correct. one is japanese, and one isn't. shut the fuck up, it doesn't matter. the only people that care about this shit are the weaboos that blow their load over having a bunch of bands with japanese lettering on their lastfm charts.[2]
