ANGELO BIOGRAPHY FOUND ON JAME WORLD

LINE UP

* Vocal : Kirito
* Bass : Kohta
* Drums : Takeo

PROFILE
In August 2006, after PIERROT's disbandment, Kirito, Kohta and Takeo stuck together to create a new band: Angelo. Although the line-up is different, Angelo is close to PIERROT in spirit; the music, lyrics, and even visuals seem to be a natural evolution.

BIOGRAPHY
After PIERROT split up, ex-members Jun and Aiji devoted themselves to solo projects (Kirito having been involved in a solo project of his own previously). Around this time, Kirito, Kohta, and Takeo appeared to be dissatisfied with the events surrounding PIERROT's disbandment and, rather logically, decided to give birth to a new group with these three members. This band is Angelo.

The newborn band first appeared giving a free live at Shibuya, which was soon followed by the announcement of a single and dates for an upcoming tour. Their appropriately named first single REBORN was released on the 8th of November, fitting because the music and style is quite close to PIERROT's. Angelo can easily be seen as a rebirth of PIERROT, but without Aiji and Jun it can't be exactly as it was.

The band fell quiet for a number of months and fans had to wait until the 28th of February to be able to listen to two more songs. The second single, WINTER MOON, is close to the first with its harsh guitars, a certain feeling of despair in the melody and the slightly hoarse voice of Kirito. Soon afterwards, a summer tour was announced and at last their debut album REBIRTH OF THE NEWBORN BABY was released in April 2007.

Lately the band has been fairly active, putting out two singles and a mini-album in 2008. This March they plan to release a new single, Usubeni no kakera, and an album the next month.
