The band chose its name from the flying island in Gulliver's Travels and tried to portray a similar unrealistic view of the world with their performance. Musically the essence of the band sound was extracted from the three pilliars of "Dark, Hard, and Melodious". Their sound is characterized by Kouichi's unique chord processions and aki's transparent high-pitched vocals. The band is considered to be under the sub-categories of black suit kei and nagoya kei. Even though not extremely commercially successful, they were influential on developing bands. Laputa's early sound was influenced by Kuroyume, since both aki and Tomoi were roadies for them. · close

Write something for Laputa? If they were able to read it.. then I'll write, but I already know they will NEVER read it =_=
Actually I have nothing to say.. I'm broken. I still listen to their songs and watch their lives/PVs, but that won't help. Will I ever hear of a new single/album by them? haha who am I kidding!
I'm so sad, I wish I was born earlier ![]()
