-Ayabie-




Introduction
Ayabie (彩冷える, アヤビエ, Ayabie), is a Japanese visual kei independent band currently signed under the label Speed Disk. Their music consists of a wide variety of sounds and moods, ranging from catchy and upbeat to heavy and hard-edged punk songs. Many of the band's costumes were designed by ID Japan, but their current costumes were designed by H. Naoto.


Biography
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 of 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.

Comments
i like ayabie's overall image, and they're also very flexible with goth-visual style or oshare-kei, although i prefer their goth. i had problems downloading ayabie's songs cos i dont have the programme for limewire -.-, so i'm still very unfamiliar with ayabie... when i randomly clicked on a song to listen(actually i didnt know that it will play... so it blust out loudly), i was a little startled with Aoi's voice, which is different from what i expected, and i like their songs. but to say the truth, they'd remind me of An Cafe... sorry to ayabie's fan, 'cause An Cafe is the first ever Oshare-kei band that i came in contact with *m(_ _)m respectfully to ayabie*.

i love ayabie's vk image, but from most of the pictures that i saw was oshare-like... damn it -_-. they looked really good when they dressed up in gothic lolita~
