Ghost (often stylized as GHOST) was a visual kei rock band from Japan. They started activity in 2004, and changed lineup several times. Their sound is often described as melodic, but they also have elements of hard rock and gothic rock. They disbanded in 2007 after the departure of guitarist Hisui.

Ghost was formed in 2004 as a part of the boom of new visual kei bands. The original lineup consisted of vocalist Kousei, Hisui and Syo~ji on guitars and drummer Rin. In May of the same year, they were joined by Zero on bass guitar. Their first single, higyaku no shiro, was released in December.

In 2005, Ghost lost two of its members; Syo~ji and Rin. Shortly after, they were joined by Yu on drums and Yura (ex-Devil Kitty)[1] on guitar. While Yu quit the band in November 2005, Yura is still a part of the band. The band continued to play with several support drummers, while releasing their first mini-album, Bi-zarre Collector. In 2005 Ghost also performed their first one man concert, at Takanobaba Arena.

Ghost's first full album, Tsumi to batsu Brand New Capsule XIV was released 20 December 2006. By then, they had recruited a new drummer, Kisara from the band Delta Ark.

In 2007, they released two new singles titled Blue Cloud and akai kumo. At their concert at Shibuya Club Quattro the 25th August, the band announced that Hisui will be leaving Ghost.[2] After that concert, it had been decided that Ghost would disband; their decision only recently announced. Their last live was held at Takadanobaba Area on December 6, 2007 and they released a compilation album titled The Best of Ghost on December 12.
