PROFILE
Nightmare began their activities way back in 2000 and every member was influenced by either X/X Japan or Luna Sea in some form. Vocalist Yomi is good at growling yet he used the beautiful and melodious side of voice when needed. He is often compared to Kyo from Dir en grey and is very genki and full of energy. Ruka writes a good portion of the songs and his prominent drumming blends in well with Ni~ya, who, unlike other bassists, never fades into the background. Sakito is the leader and can be quite a trickster. He composes the other major portion of the songs and pulls off fast and skillful twin guitar lines with Hitsugi, who is fond of the late solo artist hide, piercings and cats.
Nightmare is a rare find in the JRock world and, with their diverse sound, there should be something for everyone to like.
BIOGRAPHY
Nightmare originated in Sendai and was originally created by guitarists Sakito and Hitsugi in early January 2000. They were later on joined by Yomi on vocals, Ni~ya on bass and Zennin on drums. However, Zennin left around July and, after Luinspear disbanded, Ruka took on his spot in November.
Nightmare was very productive in their early indies days. Going by the “divide and conquer” rule of survival in the indies world, they went in full force and haven’t slowed down since. Their first tour began in July in the Kansai region and in August, their demo tape, Zange, was released. Their next release was the maxi single Hankouki which contained three songs and an overall violent death metal sound. Released in October by SPEED-DISK, it sold out almost immediately during pre-orders, which called for a second pressing of it the following month.
With the release of their Jiyuu Honpo Tenshi Ranman maxi in February 2002, Nightmare’s style changed slightly. They now had more of a jazzy, rock’n’roll sound that also incorporated a bit of synth. It was very indies sounding, yet very well balanced. Nightmare then appeared on the Matina omnibus Decadence with the song Crash! Nightmare Channel [FM]. They followed up with a tour of Nagoya and Osaka throughout March and April. On August 17th and 18th, Nightmare held a sold out, two day oneman in Takadanobaba AREA and released the single Gaia –Nadir Side- and later Gaia –Zenith Side-. After many more omnibus appearances and oneman lives, the band released their first mini-album, Outlaw, and showed off a slightly more mature version of themselves.
They started 2003 off strong with the one-man tour BATTLE beginning on February 1 with the final at Shibuya-AX on the 21st. They embarked on two more one-man tours before announcing their major status with Nippon Crown at their June 1st oneman in Akasaka BLITZ. On August 21st, Nightmare released the single Believe, which made it to number 24 on the Oricon charts. Three months later, the triple A-side single Akane/HATE/Over was released in three versions and initiated the beginning of their Ultimate Circus tour.
2004 saw the release of Nightmare’s first DVD and maxi under their insanity-ridden alter egos Sendai Kamotsu. (also the same name as their fanclub) Meanwhile, as Nightmare, they embarked on a thirty date tour that lasted from April to July. During the tour, the mega-successful single Tokyo Shounen was released and gained them many more fans to add to their already enormous fanbase. They ended 2004 with a flourish with their CPU 2004 Ghz tour, of which the final at Nakano Sun Plaza was later turned into a DVD. They also released their first full album, Libido, and a PV collection.
The band's first lives of 2005 were held at Sendai MA.CA.NA. and a maxi single, Jibun no Hana, was released in April and followed by a few promotional lives. Nightmare then started on another long tour consisting of thirty-five dates throughout the Sapporo. They also started an online radio show entitled jack in the box! that aired every Wednesday night.
Also, Sakito, being the trickster that he is, pulled a cruel April Fool's joke on Nightmare's fans. On the band's OHP, he stated that he was leaving the band. Many of their fans were near-hysteric before it was revealed that it was a joke and their managment, as well as those distraught fans, were none too happy...
In 2006, from their double A side single, the WORLD/Alumina, will be used as both the OP and END themes for the anime DEATH NOTE. As well as being active as 'Nightmare', they've also been up to the usual antics as 'Sendai Kamotsu' with yet another 'gay' themed release.
At any rate, Nightmare's went full force through 2006 and they no doubt have many other things in the works for this year as well. Their next album, the WORLD, is scheduled for a February 28th release and the limited edition will feature a special book.
YOMI is vocalist of Nightmare and like many other Visual Kei bands, he is also the lyricist. He has an alter-ego named "Chiba". Calls himself a "Sukebe"; he often gets slapped when in an interview, or before Nightmare perform's live. He also has a nickname, Zozi (also spelled as Zozzy.)
