D’espairsRay is a rock band hailing from Japan. Their music has industrial, metal, electronic, gothic rock and pop influences. The group was formed on September 9th, 1999 by HIZUMI (vocals, ex-Le’veil), Karyu (guitar, ex-Dieur Mind), ZERO (bass) and TSUKASA (drums, ex-Le’veil). They held their first live performance on the 24th at Takadanobaba AREA. On December 26th of the same year they distributed a free demo tape, “蒼”, limited to 60 copies
Their first single, entitled “蜘蛛” was released in October of 2000, and a second, “眩惑”, in 2001. Fans began to increase. In July of 2001, the band released a mini-album, “TERRORS”, and started to play at larger venues (despite vastly under estimating their boost in popularity, and continuously releasing limited copies of their music). However, notability was truly acclaimed after the release of their single “Garnet”, which reached the top of the Oricon indies charts.
The success of “Garnet” gave D’espairsRay the opportunity to play events such as Stylish Wave 03 Mega Force Gig and the infamous Beauti-Fools Festival ‘03, organised by the magazine FOOLS MATE. They weren’t just generating interest on their own soil. In 2004, they embarked upon their first European tour, “Wollust Ward dem Wurd gegeben”, that traversed France and Germany.
Finally, the long awaited debut album “Coll:set” was released on June 29th, 2005, and the band toured North America, performing a sold out show in NYC on Halloween.

I'm going to hunt around for it, it's an old piece on Karyu!

They both definitely said they were about / inspired by Karyu and his "situation". The song writing process (lyrics on top of Karyu or Tsukasa's composition, mostly Karyu) generally involves two or more of them working together. I know Karyu's said he composed the song in order to, yes, "fix and improve himself", but Hizumi says the lyrics were influenced by Karyu and the disenchantment he'd had with the band, how inferior he felt in comparison to Tsukasa and how he strived to best him. Something like that. I wish I could find the magazine the interview was in now. D:

Ahhhhhh yes! It is probably like that XD The lyrics tells Hizumi himself and the song's music is about Karyu : D

Karyu have talked about it to, didn't he say he went into writting MaVERiCK's music from an "fixing himself" point of view? & HIZUMI wrote the lyrics right? so it's a little bit of both? :D

That was then some other song... I read Hizumi's 06 interview in which he said so.

maniatheater wrote:
Actually, that's not what the lyrics are about! MaVERiCK's lyrics are about Karyu's depression, if I remember correctly. ;A;
