PROFILE
New visual kei band DaizyStripper has burst onto the Japanese music scene with something to offer every listener. Whether it be light and inspiring numbers or aggressive, heavy sounds, DaizyStripper produces catchy music overflowing with energy and emotion. Whatever the style of the song, the band's main priority when making music is to create "lasting melodies."

The name DaizyStripper is derived from the positive image of young girls (represented by the "daisy") and the exposure of adults (represented by the "stripper"). The band's music explores the idea that adults tend to lose sight of how great it is to be immature - impulsive, optimistic, and in pursuit of dreams.

BIOGRAPHY
Mayu, Rei and Kazami were all previously in the band Clavier. DaizyStripper originated when Yu-giri, who had been wanting to form a band, approached Mayu directly after one of Mayu's shows as he was putting away his guitar. Finding that the music they listened to was similar, they decided to try their hand at making music together. Mayu talked with bassist Rei and after deciding they wanted twin guitars, Rei asked one of his acquaintances, Nao, to join. Finally the four members made a demo tape and sent it to drummer Kazami, who after hearing it along with Yu-giri's voice, felt this was his ideal band. And so in March 2007, DaizyStripper was formed. They played their first live in June and have since performed with an assortment of other bands in the visual kei scene.

Released in February 2008, DaizyStripper's first release was a CD+DVD single titled Dandelion, whose title track was a message to fans describing their excitement about taking the stage for the first time. It entered at number ten on the Oricon indie chart and sold out immediately, resulting in the decision to release a second pressing, which made it to number one on the charts. The band was soon featured on TV and in several magazines, their popularity growing steadily.

In May, DaizyStripper had the great opportunity of performing in front of a huge audience at Ajinomoto Stadium for the hide Memorial Summit. They then had their first one-man live, Stripper's Kingdom, on June 6th at Shibuya BOXX. That month they released a two-CD set called CROSS, and in September embarked on a tour of the Osaka-Nagoya-Tokyo circuit called [CROSS] - Gekijou Trip/Ryuusei Trip.

In August DaizyStripper made their American debut, performing at the major anime convention Otakon 2008 in Baltimore, Maryland. Be sure to keep your eyes and ears open to learn more about this exciting and promising young band.
