Biography

Nagoya, Japan (1993 – 2004)

Laputa was a Japanese visual rock band from the city of Nagoya, Japan and was formed in July of 1993 by Aki and Tomoi, high school friends who were previously in the band AI SICK FACE together. Their member lineup from 1994 to 2004 was Aki on vocals, Kouichi on guitar, Junji on bass, and Tomoi on drums.

When Laputa was originally formed in 1993, the band’s lineup was Aki on vocals, Hiro on guitar, Kusuba on bass, and Tomoi on drums. With that member lineup Laputa released their first demotape “Saddistの夢 (Saddist no yume)” in September. In November of 1993, Hideno, previously in AI SICK FACE, joined Laputa as an additional guitarist. Laputa then released their second demotape “奈落の底 (naraku no soko)” in December of ‘93. Hiro left Laputa shortly thereafter. Junji, formerly of visual indie band Ad de Vidar, then joined Laputa in January of 1994 as a guitarist replacing Hiro. Laputa then released their first single “私が消える (watashi ga kieru)” in May of 1994. Hideno left Laputa in July of 1994, later joining visual band Merry Go Round. Kouichi, formerly in popular indie visual band Silver-Rose, joined Laputa in the same month replacing Hideno. Laputa released an indie video titled “Paradoxical Reality” in September of 1994. Kusuba left Laputa on January 7th of 1995, and would later be in the bands Lúcide and Kraidhearz.

    "That lil' asthmatic squeel he lets out" - that is the best description of Aki's voice I've ever come across XD while I thought his voice was hella weird the first time I heard it, it has definitely grown on me

    All their styles are great. Cakera and heaven are my favorites maybe. I totally appreciate their later electronic feel.

    I wouldn't say it was all downhill from Cakera or Heaven for that matter. Now I'm not as crazy about New Temptation or Material Pleassures as I am their previous works but Glitter and Sparks Monkey totally rock! <Favorite album is Jakou btw... should be getting the bandscore any day now.
