Bio:
GalapagosS is an angura/piko piko kei band formed in 2010 by ex Metronome members Sharaku and Shintaro, together with Gokimi (Tokyo Heroes, Guruguru Eigakan). They define they sound as "a mix of 'cheap game sound' with hard rock".
The band was named after the Galapagos syndrome, which is a phenomenon in which a product or society evolves without any influences from globalization. The Galapagos syndrome is occasionally mentioned in relation to Japan, as it seems that many Japanese people seem to be turning more inward instead of becoming more globalised.

Debut date: 2002
Band type: Rock band
Activity status: active
Bio: Emmurée was formed over 10 years ago by singer Sou, guitarist Haruka and bassist Tomo. Their drummer Yuki joined them later. Even though they've gained a steady fan base, they remained in the underground and call themselves an indie band - with pride. They are well known in the underground scene and their musical style is dark, strong and melancholic. Sou is known for his passionate singing, dark-romantic lyrics and powerful performance on stage. Some of their main influences are BUCK-TICK and D'ERLANGER.
Note: VERY little is known about them, I can only find information for the time between 2006-2008 and newer. There are a lot of updates thanks to twitter.
