ナイトメア (read: Naitomea, meaning: Nightmare) is a Japanese rock and visual kei band.
Another Japanese band with the same name formed in the 80’s and plays punk music (see further below).
ナイトメア began on January 1st, 2000, releasing their first single in 2001 after finalizing the band members. Guitarists 咲人 / Sakito and 柩 / Hitsugi started the band. Vocalist, Yomi, joined the band shortly after along with bassist, Ni～ya . The original drummer, Zennin left the group later that year. No music nor pictures have Zennin added in for he was in the group for a few months. Within a few weeks of Zennin leaving, ナイトメア found RUKA (formally 瑠樺), ex-drummer for Luinspear and completed the band.
ナイトメア remained on Speed Disk records up until August 2003. August 2003 marked a big year for the band as they were signed to Nippon Crown in August 2003 with the release of their first major maxi single ‘Believe’. This was their first step out of the normal visual kei set up. Since then, ナイトメア has continued to change looks, though never entering the typical visual kei genre. Their musical sound and style has also definitely changed since 2001.
The band’s mix of personalities and plain weirdness makes them what they are today. The band has the calm member, 柩 , the creepy member, Ni～ya, the perverted members, Yomi and RUKA, and the nerd, 咲人. Their different personas only make the band more likable and fun to watch.
In 2006, they released a new single called “the WORLD” which is the opening theme song for the anime “Death Note”. Their other single, “アルミナ” is the ending theme for deathnote as well.

I love Death Note. Hence my profile name, so I'd say.. fuck those who only listen to Nightmare because of Death Note. They have much more to offer than The World and Alumina.
