MONORAL

major - active (2000 - )

MONORAL's music distinguishes itself through a at times soft, at times hard, but always emotional and simple sound, which is not overloaded in any way. With skillfully chosen instruments and Anis' sonorous vocals, their music gives off an atmosphere that can best be described as alternative rock. MONORAL's lyrics show one of the peculiarities of the band, being wholly in English and consequently helping to promote their work to their fan base outside of Japan. The growth in the band's popularity is partially due to the release of kiri, which was used as an opening theme for the sci-fi anime "Ergo Proxy."
