Himeaimichu 1535 Posted December 1, 2016 (edited) Anyone remember Byakura? You know, that really influential Folk Metal VisualKei* band with the female vocalist and no official guitarist that influenced Kiryu, GossiP and Memento Mori? In fact, GossiP's old band, JyuLie, even appeared on a collaboration single with Byakura. Yeah what exactly happened to them? Their last 2 releases were a year apart, and they just simply disappeared some time in 2013, with no announcement of disbanding. Also, their official website is now nonexistent. Does anyone know exactly what happened to them? xD If no one really knows the truth, if anyone has any theories, please do share them too (But don't use any theories from Tanuki (ew) ) * I'm trying not to refer to them as AnguraKei, because I don't want to start an argument over the definition of AnguraKei Edited December 1, 2016 by AimiGen7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Biopanda 2675 Posted December 1, 2016 They went on hiatus back in March of 2013 (you can see an announcement posted on vkdb). When I saw them live in January of 2013, there were only maybe 5 other people at the concert and out of everyone, I was the only one there for them :x I know they had been active for quite a long time (since 2005, I think), but it seems like they just never gained any popularity at all and decided to call it quits. As far as I can tell, all of their members retired from the music scene as well. 2 Himeaimichu and Zeus reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's weird how they never got popular, even though they were very influential, and paved the way for GossiP and AvelCain, which probably have a spot on some of the most popular neo-VisualKei bands.

I'm putting my money on them being the members of JyuLie/GossiP xD Either that or the members of Orochi. (I at least think Orochi was still a full band at that time.)
