Japan (2003 – present)

森 清治 (Mori Kiyoharu) who is better known by his stage name 清春 (Kiyoharu), was born on October 30th 1968 in Tajimi, Gifu Prefecture, Japan. Kiyoharu is a prominent vocalist, songwriter and guitarist who is well-known for his parts in the bands 黒夢 (Kuroyume) and SADS.

Kiyoharu’s musicial career started in the mid 1980’s, as a vocalist for the independant bands SUS4 and ＧＡＲＮＥＴ. When GARNET folded in 1990, 黒夢 (Kuroyume) was born a year later. Their music style evolved and changed between the eight years they were together. In their early years, their style varied from , and with a edge. Their music eventually evolved to a and style in the few years before their hiatus. In 1999, the band was officially suspended and Kiyoharu moved onto a new project.

SADS was formed in 1999 by Kiyoharu, after the suspension of Kuroyume. SADS also produced a sound similar to that of late-Kuroyume, but eventually moved onto more and inspired music. In 2003, SADS was suspended indefinitely when drummer Eiji Mitsuzono announced his departure from the band. In the same year, Kiyoharu began his solo career.

Kiyoharu’s music took a turn from loud rock/punk songs to softer sounds while still remaining in the rock genre. He has released eight full length albums since 2004: Poetry, Mellow, 官能ブギー (Kannou BOOGIE), VINNYBEACH ～架空の海岸～ (~kakuu no kaigan~) and Forever Love. His sixth album, RHYTHMLESS & PERSPECTIVE, was released in the form of two mini-albums titled light～saw the light & shade～ and shade～saw the light & shade～.

    kuroyume probably took the more casual-vk look since fake star and it has always been that till the end of sads. kiyoharu's solo work would hardly be considered vk though.

    @soldmyseoul ↓ as for his concept overall, no but Kuroyume did influence a lot of VK bands and most of his musician friends have or had something to do with VK (ex: Acid Black Cherry), also many of Kiyoharu fans both in Japan and outside are also VK fans. That's pretty much why he is related and inspired by VK though he is not actually Visual.

    Not trying to sound like a complete newb here, but is he considered visual? I know SADS kind of was, but idk about his solo work. I'd appreciate any help.
