Kaya, a versatile solo singer, skillfully transcends the boundaries of gender and genre through his dramatic songs and distinctive costumes. His vocal range spans from dark electro to the enchanting and romantic styles of visual kei, as well as the French-style “chanson”. With a fusion of dance music, artistic lyrics, and a unique worldview, Kaya captivates audiences worldwide.

His musical journey began in 2002 as the vocalist for Schwarz Stein, a musical unit produced by Mana from the legendary band MALICE MIZER. In 2006, Kaya ventured into his solo career, achieving a major debut just two years later with the release of his 2008 single Chocolat. With the release of his fourth full album, ROSE, you can witness Kaya’s continued evolution as his career advances.

Notably, on July 17, 2023, Kaya unveiled his 19th single, Villains. Experience the magic of this release by checking out the music video below.

Joining Kaya is HIZAKI, the leader and composer of the bands Jupiter and VERSAILLES. HIZAKI is widely recognized for his skill as a guitarist and his commitment to infusing beauty into his music. No stranger to touring abroad, HIZAKIS’s career has called him to ports worldwide, including this month’s upcoming event Japan Weekend Valencia in Spain.

Like Kaya, HIZAKI also has a successful solo career as HIZAKI grace project. His instrumental album Rosario, featuring only guitars, achieved remarkable sales and received acclaim not only in the metal world but also in various musical genres.

Currently, he’s actively involved in both his bands and his solo project, and he’s also expanded his activities by producing other bands. Check out one of his solo songs below and get ready to marvel at his guitar skills.
