Intro

P Records roster. Their sound identity is built on a foundation of 'melodic rock' that incorporates elements of metalcore, digital-pop, and alternative rock.

The band is noted for their high technical proficiency, particularly the intricate guitar work of Kuina and the versatile vocal range of Subaru, which shifts seamlessly from powerful belting to delicate falsetto. Historically, the band transitioned from a five-piece to a four-piece in 2014 following the departure of guitarist Kazuki, a shift that eventually led to a more focused and occasionally heavier sonic direction. They occupy a central position in the 'Neo-Visual' movement, influencing a younger generation of bands with their blend of flashy aesthetics and high-fidelity production. Critical consensus highlights their consistency and ability to evolve while maintaining a signature 'Royz sound' that emphasizes emotional catharsis and high-energy live engagement. They are frequently associated with peers like DIAURA and Arlequin, forming a triumvirate of modern VK leaders.
