Profile

In 2004, Kaito, Mitsunori, and Hiro begin activities as Wizard. They shortly had a live at the Ikebukuro Cyber even though they didn’t have a complete line-up. Their first maxi single ’Scarmiglione’ was distributed at this concert. (Only 30 copies exist!) Shortly after they released another single named ’Fork to Knife no Trip Theater’.

Shortly after they accept a new bassist named Saki. Also, the drummer Shou joins and Masumi replaces Mitsunori on guitars. Later, In 2005 ’Ookami Shoujo’ as well as ’Platonic Boy’ were both released on February 22nd, and they even played a free concert at the Ikebukuro Cyber. During this time Shou leaves (after only nine days in the band) and his successor Haruka joins. In September they release ’Nude Baby’, and ’Cult Baby’, and shortly after that release a full length album named Gemini.

In January 2006, Wizard took part in many festivals, with bands like the Pumpkin head as well as others bands from their label. They also hosted their first concert which sold out at the Takadanobaba AREA. After this they relased their 4th maxi single titled ’Whiteday’ and released the PV Bribe of Love along with two more maxi singles. They also went on a one man tour which lasted approximately 3 months.

In January 2007, Wizard released their 2nd full length album, ’Aquarius’, and after that they released another full length album titled ’Ura Wizard’. Overall the band is active, and seems as if it will continue regularly releasing content despite line-up problems.

Thoughts

Wizard is a band that avoids sounding like generic visual kei. Catchy guitar riffs along with solos, and the bands versatility really sets it apart from other mainstream visual bands. I think that their style is more developed now than it used to be, and I also believe they will release even better works than they currently are. (though by no means are their current works bad!)
