The photo portrays the four members of visual kei metal band DEVILOOF, all dressed in black attire with red and yellow/gold-coloured accents. The outfits are a combination of (fake) leather and fur, chains, belts Japanese traditional clothing. In the forefront is the vocalist Keisuke, with striking makeup: a face painted white, panda bear eyes with red lenses, black lipstick with blood effects around his mouth and on his teeth.
