Megaromania

The visual kei band Megaromania formed with the concept of creating a world with mysterious aesthetics. With the theme of strangeness deeply rooted in the band’s identity, they create powerful lyrics and music from fast paced heavy rock to calming fresh pieces. The band’s visuals range between elaborate dresses to gothic-style outfits, again incorporating a sense of mystery and imagination into their work.

Megaromania made their first appearance at a Deshabillz's revival live at HOLIDAY SHINJUKU on June 1st, 2008 and were already signed to label UNDER CODE PRODUCTION. Before this live took place, Megaromania had already announced the release of three maxi-singles for May 28th to commemorate their formation. On July 9th, the band released their first mini-album entitled Birth of an 「Idea」.

On July 30th, Megaromania contributed to the CD compilation Visualy[zm] The Cure Century. On November 12th, the band held a one-man live at Meguro Rock May Kan to commemorate the release of Transparent Shine.

Megaromania contributed their song Transparent Shine to the compilation album The End of Missing, which was released on March 4th, 2009. From March 1st to March 13th, they participated in UNDER CODE’s sixth anniversary celebration tour.

Megaromania’s first anniversary was celebrated with two lives, their first one-man on May 31st at Shibuya Ruido K2 and another at Takadanobaba Area soon after.

Over the next few months, Megaromania participated in live events and two-man lives, as well as contributing to another compilation album, JUDGMENT #005. They released their first full album, Prophetic Faction-the Universe, on November 11th that year. Megaromania made their first appearance overseas in Bucharest, Romania on December 13th, becoming the first visual kei band ever to perform there.
