Kiryu (band)

also known as:   The Kiryu  

indies - active (2007 - )

Kiryu is a visual kei band that takes its visual identity from traditional Japanese culture. Wearing elaborate outfits with stunning prints, the band often appears around breath-taking settings reminiscent of ancient Japan. Kiryu’s music does take some influence from their image, it can be calming and relaxing and matches very well with the idea of old Japan in a modern context. However, some of the band’s music has definite heavy metal tones and will surprise the listener with how forceful it can be.
