Karasu

Nov, 2009
カラス (Karasu) is a new neo visual kei “super unit” that has a very interesting composition of musicians!
The line-up for the project is:
Vocals - 逹瑯 (Tatsurou) [from MUCC]
Guitar - ヒロト (Hiroto) [from Alice 9]
Guitar - 美月 (Mizuki) [from Sadie]
Bass - dunch [from jealkb]
Drums - ケンゾ (Kenzo) [from Ayabie]
Originally, the band was meant to only be a one night jam session, organized by the vocalist, Tatsurou. However, they now are like a crow, which has grown and expanded, and is spreading its wings.
They first performed on August 15th at the MAVERICK DC GROUP PRESENTS JACK IN THE BOX 2009 SUMMER live. They played two cover songs, as well as their original number, 「LASTICA」, which you can hear a sample of on their official MySpace.
For three months after their performance, the band has been busy “underwater” recording, and this November have brought 「LASTICA」 back to the scene with their 「LASTICA Studio ver.」. They are adding the finishing touches to the song which is catchy, and has an industrial sound with passionate lyrics, perfectly appropriate for “neo visual kei”.
Is ‘Karasu’ (which means ‘crow’) something that will fly away and disappear? Or, is it something magnificent, willful, that will suddenly and unexpected swoop down on you? From here on, you will not be able to take your eyes away from their activities.
So if you haven’t already, make sure you add them on MySpace to show your support!

wow~ very interesting. i had no idea about this.. very cool though!
I don’t think it’s really a supergroup. Just a session band that are taking themselves too seriously…
Haha, well they’re calling themselves a ‘super unit’… they also used ‘elite’ to decsribe themeselves.
Hiroto! <3 This would be a very cool "official" band.
Tatsurou hasn’t looked THAT COOL in years!!
LOOOOL
“Organized by the vocalist, Tatsurou”
well we can blame him if they don’t turn out to be good XD
xD ….
I was wondering what this was about.. well.. this is interesting (゜▽゜`)
I hope they’re having fun. xD
That’s an interesting line-up ^^
this is a REALLY interesting line-up. kind of a clash imo
but what the hay xD
Sounds interesting! That combination.. hmm wonder what they’ll sound like.
Wow before I read further I just thought it was a random new band and I looked at the picture (the vocalist) and went now that’s one Tatsurou looking person… XD
Anyway, it’s such an interesting line-up. The sample was nice, but I can’t really think apart when I hear the vocals so I thought it sounded like light MUCC… XD Interesting to see how/if they evolve, however. ^^
That line-up is awesome. :0
DAMN I APPROVE SO HARD. And even though I dislike anything associated with a9 I must say all of them are looking smokin’. Let’s hope they’re good.
i totally agree with everything vendie said XD
LOL. I have been following this since Jack in the box. I’m not really too surprised by this, and kinda expected it, ever since Miya had Gekigakutai. Tatsuro knows everyone and their brother in the VK scene. Tatsuro’s also not held his tongue about wanting to do more “pop” type music for the last few years, either. I like the myspace sample. Would be awesome if Karasu released a mini or something.
god help us.
Holy crap. I just had a heart attack. This is a really freaking good lineup. <333 YES.
