I think the vast majority know this band. This is Missalina Rei, the legendary japanese Visual Kei band belonging to the legendary Key Party Records label.
At the beginning of its existence, the group had a typical sound of the bands of that time: lugubrious tunes with a visual aesthetic similar to DEFLOWER, Aliene Ma’riage, among others. Later, achieving considerable popularity for the proposal on stage of the members, especially Arisu, their melodies achieved a more pleasant and fun character, typical of genres such as pop-rock and even punk.
Easily one of my favorite bands from the 90’s. I remember when the only uploads of the Tokimeki PV were all crusty 240p heavily compressed rips lol. Now in 2021, we can watch it in HD
Definitely one of my favourites from that period. It depresses me how quick the Key Party bands disbanded, I get that it was a niche “fad” type of music at the time but damn the stuff sounds timeless to me. always liked this first tune, that main riff sounds downright demented
