    Guniw+Tools.jpg

    [1992~2000, 2011(???)~(???)]

    Originally starting in 1989 as Full’s creative outlet called GUNIW, GUNIW TOOLS became what it’s known as today after Jake joined in 1992. GUNIW TOOLS’ music ranges all over the map, from rock, to industrial, to shoegaze, to jazz-influenced, to inspired by the folk music of countries like Nepal and India. GUNIW TOOLS never really had a typical visual kei image, instead opting for a more dadaist, dreamlike visual presence. Before they became major, Asaki joined the group as a support guitarist, but joined officially after becoming a hit with the fans. In 1996 they were signed to Victor Entertainment, a major record company, and quickly released their first album, NIWLUN.

    Jake was responsible for the musical style on their first three albums, writing almost all of the songs, with some duties falling to Full and Asaki. Asaki added an industrial influence to many songs as well as providing backup vocals and took a much more prominant role following the departure of Jake.

    Vocals and leader: FULL (GUNIW TOOLS → Nookicky → SHILFEE AND TULIPCOROBOCKLES, TAFUCA, OCQ)

    Guitar and programming: ASAKI (GUNIW TOOLS → BUG, AGE of PUNK)

    Guitar and bass: JAKE (GUNIW TOOLS → super soul sonics → cloudchair)

    Let's talk about these guys.

    They're probably one of the most underappreciated bands among visual kei and Japanese music fans but hey, they just don't fit any music stereotypes and explore really weird venues. Their music genres are all over the place, which takes a lot of musical open-mindedness to take in, and I guess they look too weird for most people but yet not visual kei enough for vk fans.

    Their sound and their creativity make each album different from the others. Listening to NIWLUN you wouldn't think they're same band that made DAZZLE.

    I love both Jake and Asaki's different styles, and I think both carry Full's voice beautifully.

    Some songs: モラリストの事 - Plenty of flour - SOUP - baby's one do - VANITY

    Favourite band EVER. <3

    Well you will not really get a notification but Finch Liqueur wrote a message on its youtube account about their bands (so Nookicky, SHILFEE AND TULIPCOROBOCKLES, TAFUCA and OCQ) music and PVs uploaded on yt. They said that if fans want someone by Finch Liqueur uploaded they just have to ask to them or something like that
