(2006 – present)

Matenrou Opera (摩天楼オペラ) was formed in October 2006 by Sono, the talented vocalist of Jeniva. After Jeniva disbanded on October 14th, Sono and Jeniva’s drummer Yuu started working on the new band.

All the members were chosen already in October, before Jeniva even disbanded. The following two months Matenrou Opera spent by rehearsing, designing costumes and preparing for their first lives in the spring otherwise as well.

In January, the band spent some time in studio, recording their first single. The name of the band was kept a secret until 23rd of February, when Yuu finally announced it in his blog. He also announced the date of their first live; it was to take place at Urawa Narciss on May 4th. It was also decided that their first single, alkaloid showase, would be released on that day. In reality, however, Matenrou Opera’s very first live was on April 28th, a secret live held at Urawa Narciss.

After releasing alkaloid showcase, Matenrou Opera kept busy with lives all through the summer and autumn. However, at their live on October 30th, Matenrou Opera gave bad news to their fans; the guitarist Mika and keyboardist Karen would leave the band in November. While the news surprised many fans, the decision had apparently been long time coming, and already when the band announced Karen and Mika would leave, they also told that replacements had already been taken care of.

    This band is freaking AWESOME!!!! And I swear that Last.fm's visual kei radio reads my mind. Whenever I go to my Facebook page or go to a site that's even RELATED to Matenrou Opera, one of their songs plays soon afterwards. Where at the same time it's weird, it's still awesome because...well...it's Matenrou Opera! You just CAN'T go wrong with these guys! Bands like Matenrou Opera and L'arc~en~Ciel and some others just make J-rock SUCH a great genre! :D
