The band skillfully captures the chaos of everyday feelings and the hidden depths of human relationships in their music. Despite being together for three years, they have already appeared in various indie circuit live music events, such as MiMiNOKO ROCK FES JAPAN, TOKYO CALLING, Shimokitazawa Nite, and KNOCKOUT FES. \u2014 Recommended by <a href=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/en\/author\/seraphinne\/\">Francisca<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u30a6\u30de\u30b7\u30ab\u3066\u300c\u65ad\u6368\u96e2\u300dMusic Video\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sCTYJ0ahUog?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h3>\u76f4 (Nao) &#8211; 666-triple six-<\/h3>\n<p>Nao is better known as the guitarist in the visual kei band DaizyStripper, but he has also been active as a solo musician for well over a year. This resulted in a mini-album last year, titled <em>NeO ProToTypE<\/em>, followed up with the second mini-album, titled <em>666-triple six-<\/em>, in July. Nao&#8217;s project is mainly an instrumental band, in which he can put his own ideas to further grow as a musician. Incidentally, this is not the first time Nao has had a solo project; in 2016, all of DaizyStripper&#8217;s band members announced solo releases as part of the band&#8217;s 10th anniversary. Nao&#8217;s short-lived project then bore the name of FREAKMAN. and was in collaboration with vocalist Ryouta (ex-Neverland, now active in THE MADNA). \u2014 Recommended by <a href=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/en\/author\/seraphinne\/\">Francisca<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u76f4\u300c666-triple six-\u300dMV\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/58lwnbHXxrE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h3>THE MOLICE &#8211; Active Imagination<\/h3>\n<p>Formed in 2007, The Molice are a Tokyo-based alternative post-hardcore\/dance-core trio defying the boundaries of music genres by seamlessly blending various musical styles, including rock n&#8217; roll, classical, dance, shoegaze, alternative, and post-hardcore elements. Their international presence has been notable, with performances spanning Europe to North America, which caught the attention of Good Charamel Records, leading them to move their operations to the United States in 2018. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, the band returned to Japan and devoted themselves to crafting new music.
