major - active (2003 - )

12012 (pronounced 'ichi ni zero ichi ni') is a visual rock band based in the Kansai region of Japan. The band's interesting name comes from the California penal code, which means "possession of a dangerous weapon." With five members, the lyrics are always written by vocalist Miyawaki Wataru who uses their songs to create a story. Their music style tends to be harder rock, with a dark and aggressive undercurrent.
