There are more than one band that goes by the name Baroque:
1) baroque (Originally known as バロック) is a Japanese rock band, formed in 2001.
The band formed when the guitarist Akira (晃) (from Shiver) and bassist Bansaku (万作) (from After effect) invited Ryo (怜) (the vocalist of kannivalism) to their new band. Kei (圭) (the guitarist of kannivalism) also joined with Ryo. That time baroque also had a drummer named Naru (ナル).
baroque debuted in July 2001 and went major rather quickly doing their first one-man in August 2001.
Upon forming, baroque retained a sort of visual kei image, but they lacked the “darker,” more goth aspect visual kei usually presented. Because of this, baroque are considered to be the founders of oshare kei - the happier, more fashion-conscious side of the visual scene in Japan. In their later days as a band, baroque rid themselves of this visual style and opted for more casual, everyday clothing instead.
In April 2002, Naru left the band and new drummer Yuji (祐二) replaced his place in June 2002. But in May 2003, Yuji also left the band.
baroque disbanded in September 11, 2004. This happened ten days after releasing their first album: “sug life”. It is said that reason for their disbanding were Bansaku’s doubts towards his bass skills, so because of this he wanted to leave the band. The other members, unable to see their band going on without their friend, also decided to end the band.

I love all three, and considering my expectations were so high, I'm glad they didn't disappoint. 凛然アイデンティティ is the favorite so far though :333

It seems they added a couple dates more to the tour, like if it was not going to be painfully long enough. Also, everything Kei does sounds pretty much the same so I agree with 凛然アイデンティティ having easy to point out references of his past works.

forgetmenot: Regarding the Kei-part, I can also clearly hear the elements that Kei has used in his own solo songs and what he has been using again on 凛然アイデンティティ for example..

For a minute I was confused why the new singles don't sound like kannivalism, and then I get it, lol. Good stuff!! I'm really happy with them :D Good thing they decided to give it another shot. I think this is also pushing Kei to do something a bit different (although I can still totally hear some bits of melodies that sound like stuff from kannivalism, Kei, & Baroque's old stuff hahaha, little recurring themes are always good) ^^

Hey, does anyone could tell me where can I download these 3new songs??? Please *.*

All three singles are very good, I actually think that 凛然アイデンティティis a leftover from "sug life". I don't think it's a new composed song.

モノドラマ is actually quite nice! Teeny-Tiny Star is quite more cheesy, sadly, but at least it has cool beat to it. I was not able to listen 凛然アイデンティティ though :/

HURRY YesAsia, why did I order the remastered UROBOROS in the same order as the baroque BOX SET? :( OMG can't stand the wait!

"teeny-tiny star" is very good! Please focus on baroque forever now!

Madygrain wrote:
Akira and Bansaku deserve more than making teen pop rock with pretencious trance synths. Please baroque, let boogieman get all of this artist's time.

I really hope baroque activities don't get too intese so boogieman can also be productive when Yuichiro recovers.
