Yrs: 2004-Present
Status: Active

Aural Vampire is a Japanese electronic band which consists of Exo-Chika (vocals/lyrics) and Raveman (music). They hail from Tokyo, Japan and compose mainly electropop, darkwave, and synthpop music with occasional industrial elements. Aural Vampire has toured Europe numerous times and been featured in magazines such as Astan Magazine and The Dose. During the first four years of their career, they were on an independent label.
Aural Vampire released their full-length self-released debut album, Vampire Ecstasy, in 2004 and released one online single, Death Folder in 2005, which is available on their website. A few tracks and remixes on compilations have appeared throughout their early career but they remained active as a live band.
In late 2008, the band announced they have been signed to a major label and released their first self titled EP on iTunes. Their second album is planned for a spring 2009 release.

Ayabie



Members:
Vox: Aoi
Gu: Takehito, Yumehito
Ba:Intetsu
Dr:Kenzo
Yrs:2004-Present
Status: Active

Ayabie was formed in the early spring of 2004 by ex-Hinawana members Ryōhei, Takehito, and Intetsu with Aoi (ex-MASK, ex-Cynical Biscuit). On May 8th, 2004, Ayabie held their first solo concert at the Takadanobaba AREA. Their first single, Heien No Ato, Ame, was distributed at this live. Following this release was their next single, Romancer, which was limited to 1000 copies.
Ayabie's debut album was released on March 21, 2005, entitled Ayabie Sokukan Ongenshū. It includes a bonus DVD which contains their previously recorded PVs. The group, which started with only support drummers, finally had a permanent drummer when Kenzo joined later that year.
In June 2006, Ayabie toured Europe for the first time. In August, Ryōhei left the band permanently, due to his disagreement of the band's future. After his departure, he started his own new band, "Megamasso" Yumehito became the newest member of Ayabie 3 months later. The band adjusted to the change by splitting song writing duties among the band members, with Yumehito writing many of the band's lyrics.
In 2007, Ayabie returned to Europe again and released the mini-album Ecumenical along with many singles.
Ayabie is scheduled to tour in the US for the first time in June 2008, as part of their world tour
At the conclusion of their "Mikazuki no Kiseki" Tour on September 27, 2008, Ayabie announced that as of Spring 2009 they would be going major.
