PROFILE

Hanamuke (farewell gift) was an indies visual kei band that disbanded before they had the chance to build a name. They had a lot of ambition and talent, but didn’t last longer than only three years.

Their music was classified as visual kei and even though Hanamuke’s music had no completely unique characteristics nor made any attempts to start a new type of music, it was very good with upbeat, catchy rock songs that were very enjoyable to listen to.

The band members wore visual kei costumes and the design of their CD covers, promotion material, and merchandise were very colorful and playful.

BIOGRAPHY

Hanamuke was formed by Tenten (vocals), Tsubaki (guitar), and Makoto (bass) in May 2000. Even though the line-up wasn’t complete because they still needed another guitarist and a drummer, they started anyway.

Their first release was a demo-tape, which came in November. In the next month, Yuma joined the trio as the second guitarist.

In 2001, the young band released various demo tapes, which were all limited and mostly sold during their lives. In March they released their first single, which was simply titled Hanamuke. On August 7th, the band held their first one-man concert in Sendai and on the same date they released their second single, Nakadashi paradise.

At the beginning of 2002, they finally found a drummer; Kihiro was the former drummer of ArucarD. They continued to perform at various events, performing with more famous bands from the visual kei scene as their popularity increased. They also held a small tour in November, which lead to the release of their first mini-album Koushichouritsu ~newscaster hirata choukiji 32 toshi no baai~.
