RomanceHAKUEI (PENICILLIN)

RomanceHAKUEI (PENICILLIN)

HAKUEI of PENICILLIN, born in Kushima City, Miyazaki Prefecture.

PENICILLIN is known as a visual kei rock band, and their hit song “Romance” left a strong impression on me as it was the theme song for the anime Sexy Commando Gaiden: Sugoi yo!! Masaru-san.

Speaking of HAKUEI, beyond his strikingly beautiful appearance, he is also highly versatile—active in numerous bands outside of PENICILLIN and known for his work as an entrepreneur.

HOMM Yoh ‘LOADED’ MV
LOADEDHOMMyo

HOMMヨ is an alternative band formed in Tokyo in 2005, consisting of three women.

When people hear “girls’ band,” many might imagine a poppy, glitzy vibe, but they strip away those elements and convey the core of a refined rock band.

The sluggish, deliberate drum feel, the heavy bass, and the distorted guitar tones create a dark atmosphere that should strongly appeal to grunge fans.

Layered over that is vocalist Niimari Ko’s airy voice, which shapes a singular, unmistakable world of their own.

6or9Hyde

HYDE, known as the vocalist for L’Arc~en~Ciel and VAMPS and also highly active as a solo singer-songwriter.

The digital single “6or9,” released on September 6, 2023, delivers a powerful impact with its thrilling ensemble and high-velocity melody.

The contrast between his distinctive edge voice and gritty growls draws listeners into the song’s world.

With its aggressive sound and call-and-response–oriented structure that ramps up the excitement, it’s a powerful, high-energy banger.
