An AWESOMETASTIC J-Rock
band formed September 9, 1999 by Karyu, the guitarist, after the bassist got him ridiculously hammered. The
band has had a number of successes, including several tours in Europe and joining the RTOC tour in 2008 with a bunch of ghei bands, WAY beneath their level. D'espairsRay will be celebrating their 10-year-anniversary this year, hopefully unlike the last, in which Karyu looked as if he was about to puke all over everthing.
<b>D'espairsRay is:</b>
<b>HIZUMI</b> (vocalist)-- who posts blogs non-stop about the weather, bugs stalking him, and
alien movies that make him
go "tense". He's secretely a viking hamster who loves tobasco sauce, as shown from their show in Ruisrock and Wacken Open Air.
<b>Karyu</b> (guitarist/Fagman)-- who speaks in a strange, elusive manner, like a dying
person attempting to give the protagonist in a crappy, high-budget movie info before they die. His nose is HUMONGOUS and very much beanpole-like.
<b>ZERO</b> (bassist)-- also know as the internet-addicted, picture-whoring Slutface. Slutface
never gets off the intarwebs, and posts around 10 blogs a
day on 3 different websites, posting pictures of his underwear,
butt, and naked thigh.
<b>TSUKASA</b> (
drummer)-- known as Mufasa, the drunk
hick-farmer boy who can't farm worth a damn. The man can drink
vodka out of a bottle, but gets a stomach-ache if he drinks coffee, while singing enka about Karyu's cat (from the radio station, Maniac Station).
Unlike most Japanese artists, the vocalist does not sing in that horrible, nasaly tone that makes you want to give them a tissue. Their live shows are 1000x better than the recording, and their fans (called Mania) aren't complete douchey douchebags... excpet for a few elitist Fan Club
bitches who flaunt all their
FC-only
stuff, but refuse to show other fans when aksed politely.
