Nightmare originated in Sendai and was originally created by guitarists Sakito and Hitsugi in early January 2000. They were later on joined by Yomi on vocals, Ni~ya on bass and Zennin on drums. However, Zennin left around July and, after Luinspear disbanded, Ruka took on his spot in November.
Nightmare was very productive in their early indies days. Going by the “divide and conquer” rule of survival in the indies world, they went in full force and haven’t slowed down since. Their first tour began in July in the Kansai region and in August, their demo tape, Zange, was released. Their next release was the maxi single Hankouki which contained three songs and an overall violent death metal sound. Released in October by SPEED-DISK, it sold out almost immediately during pre-orders, which called for a second pressing of it the following month.
With the release of their Jiyuu Honpo Tenshi Ranman maxi in February 2002, Nightmare’s style changed slightly. They now had more of a jazzy, rock’n’roll sound that also incorporated a bit of synth. It was very indies sounding, yet very well balanced. Nightmare then appeared on the Matina omnibus Decadence with the song Crash! Nightmare Channel [FM]. They followed up with a tour of Nagoya and Osaka throughout March and April. On August 17th and 18th, Nightmare held a sold out, two day oneman in Takadanobaba AREA and released the single Gaia –Nadir Side- and later Gaia –Zenith Side-. After many more omnibus appearances and oneman lives, the band released their first mini-album, Outlaw, and showed off a slightly more mature version of themselves.
They started 2003 off strong with the one-man tour BATTLE beginning on February 1 with the final at Shibuya-AX on the 21st. They embarked on two more one-man tours before announcing their major status with Nippon Crown at their June 1st oneman in Akasaka BLITZ. On August 21st, Nightmare released the single Believe, which made it to number 24 on the Oricon charts. Three months later, the triple A-side single Akane/HATE/Over was released in three versions and initiated the beginning of their Ultimate Circus tour.
2004 saw the release of Nightmare’s first DVD and maxi under their insanity-ridden alter egos Sendai Kamotsu. (also the same name as their fanclub) Meanwhile, as Nightmare, they embarked on a thirty date tour that lasted from April to July. During the tour, the mega-successful single Tokyo Shounen was released and gained them many more fans to add to their already enormous fanbase. They ended 2004 with a flourish with their CPU 2004 Ghz tour, of which the final at Nakano Sun Plaza was later turned into a DVD. They also released their first full album, Libido, and a PV collection.
The band's first lives of 2005 were held at Sendai MA.CA.NA. and a maxi single, Jibun no Hana, was released in April and followed by a few promotional lives. Nightmare then started on another long tour consisting of thirty-five dates throughout the Sapporo. They also started an online radio show entitled jack in the box! that aired every Wednesday night.
Also, Sakito, being the trickster that he is, pulled a cruel April Fool's joke on Nightmare's fans. On the band's OHP, he stated that he was leaving the band. Many of their fans were near-hysteric before it was revealed that it was a joke and their managment, as well as those distraught fans, were none too happy...
In 2006, from their double A side single, the WORLD/Alumina, will be used as both the OP and END themes for the anime DEATH NOTE. As well as being active as 'Nightmare', they've also been up to the usual antics as 'Sendai Kamotsu' with yet another 'gay' themed release.
At any rate, Nightmare's went full force through 2006 and they no doubt have many other things in the works for this year as well. Their album, the WORLD Ruler, is scheduled for a February 28th release and the limited edition will feature a special book.
Their latest album release, majestical parade, was released May 13, 2009 and had 3 versions: CD only, CD+ MV MELODY, or CD+ MV Can you do it?.
Their latest single is Rem_ and has three versions: CD only, CD + MV Rem_, and CD + MV love addict. It also comes with a special lottery ticket and love addict has a unique style that they haven't done before.

They're supposed to be popular especially with girls but infact I've noticed not that many people know or like them, especially not on jpopasia
Lemme start by saying who Nightmare are for those who don't know.
You may have heard the beginning and end theme song of the first anime series of 'Death Note' opening being: The World and Ending: Alumina, anime series opening of Claymore: Raison d'Etre, and another anime series which I'm not sure the name of but their song is called 'Dirty'
Band name: Nightmare or (Naitomea ナイトメア)
Vocalist is Yomi, he's the shortest of the group
Guitarist is Sakito, he also sings back up and writes the lyrics
Guitarist is Hitsugi, the one who has loads of piercings
Bass Guitarist is Ni~Ya
Drummer is Ruka
Their new pv is called 'Lost in Blue' btw
Who's your favourite member 
and what's your fav song-if you don't know them please go check out some of their songs and come back :>
I just hope Nightmare could get as much exposure and be loved as much as bands I keep hearing about such as The Gazette or Alice Nine etc. I'm always the one who has to mention Nightmare when no one else does :[
I don't know tons of there songs or everything about them, but from what i've heard i like them very much 
About the whole them being popular with girls thing idk if that's true, but i'm a girl and i like them! :RBstickout:
As for my fav song it would prob have to be Traumerai, and the member i guess yomi.
I haven't seen their new pv i'll go check it out now
See what I mean XD
Bits of their wikipedia pages have been deleted but I remember reading they were sort of popular and were a pretty successful band, but maybe that could've been written by peoples own opinion, but I like them and maybe not as many of my friends or other people know or like them, I'm determined to keep supporting
I do not remember Traumerai but I will listen to it again thanks :]
Naitomea is like my favorite band ever!!! :RBheart: :RBheart: :RBheart:
My favorite member would have to be Yomi!!! He is so cute, but very pervy!! -whisper- I heard he likes girls with big boobs... lol!!! :RBblush:

Haha yeah. That'd be an excellent choice XD I've read that once, it's a pity...lolz
He's also a really big tard O.o not sure if you've watched him as "Chiba" before, I don't know whether to cry, or plan his funeral for making himself look like a weird elelphant with a dyper on his head *_*
;D

I saw that, but I'm sort of creeped out by seeing Yomi having his hand as an elephant and it was doing it with I think Hitsugi's or Ruka's hand elephant.... :RBconfused:
But Yomi is soo cute :RBheart:
OMG YES I LOVE YOU!!! Finally. FINALLY more people who love Nightmare!!! 
And Yomi!!!
normally ppl like hitsugi. or sakito. or niya. or ruka. i havent heard of a super Yomi fan 8D
I love their music! It's less like the other bands (all the PSC ppl D:)coz it's unique! and Yomi's voice is awesome! He's so cute 
My fav member is Yomi! (duh!) I like the world, alumina, tokyo shonen and raison d'etre, but i cant tell which one i like the most D: to think of it, all their songs are LOVE :RBheart:
YEEESSS! I totally agree that he's so cute! and hand elephants are cute too! He's so lovable that it leaves me with no choice but to get used to and become pervy too XD
Ehehe naito is FTW.
hitsugi and yomi are epic! but mostly hitsugi
hitsugi and yomi are epic! but mostly hitsugi
I agree! (to the first part) Sakito is quite epic too, but not as much as Hitsugi and Yomi. But for me, Yomi is the most epic winz :RBheart:

Haha yeah I'd say I'm a super Yomi fan too XD and you're absolutely right, they are unique and amazing, I love Yomi's voice the best and overall they always make great music, not one of their song is below awesome and I honeslty believe that.
It's much too hard for me to decide a fav song *A*
Ahahaha lmao I saw that, oh god, but I would say the pants one totally left a mark on me...I may never look at a bird in the same way ever again >_>;;;;; lol
It hasn't changed my views on Yomi though >_> that evil chibi is too lovable, not even Chiba from sendai Kamotsu (wtf?)
hitsugi and yomi are epic! but mostly hitsugi
I love Hitsgui ;D how can such a person be so mega cute? With all those piercings and dressing up he makes everything look normal XD
I love Hitsgui ;D how can such a person be so mega cute? With all those piercings and dressing up he makes everything look normal XD
omg yes and he loves cats and says nyan~ he's so cute and shy!!!
Ahahaha lmao I saw that, oh god, but I would say the pants one totally left a mark on me...I may never look at a bird in the same way ever again >_>;;;;; lol

oh the swan underwear thing? haha. the swan was really cute i cant belif how the maker of that underwear could be so....creative...lol. i like Chiba...he's so funny and hyper...it's kinda weird referring to both as if they were 2 different ppl...when they are the same lol
I love Hitsgui ;D how can such a person be so mega cute? With all those piercings and dressing up he makes everything look normal XD
do you ever realise that in magazines, for the order of the pictures/interviews/whatever, it's always Yomi first, then Hitsui, Sakito, Ni~ya and lastly Ruka?
it's interesting, coz they're ordered according to how much i like them o.0 maybe it's according to height, or it's just according to how good looking they are, or going with the usual order of vocalist first, then guitar, bass and drums last. and since there are 2 guitarists, they put it in alphabetical order, so Hitsu b4 Sakito.
In fact, all the possibilities above ARE possible. lol. it's so cool rite? 
Im sorry I just bacame confused...Hehehehe...sorry. I get confused a lot!
oh the swan underwear thing? haha. the swan was really cute i cant belif how the maker of that underwear could be so....creative...lol. i like Chiba...he's so funny and hyper...it's kinda weird referring to both as if they were 2 different ppl...when they are the same lol
Yeah lol ;D Seriously though, I see any type of bird I begin to think o__o;; as long as Nightmare doesn't do anything involving cats I will be fine ;D
