AYABIE

AYABIE is a Japanese visual kei band that formed in 2004, bringing a mix of melodic rock and edgy, theatrical energy to the scene. Originally consisting of members Intetsu (guitar), Takehito (vocals), Kenzo (bass), and Yumehito (drums), they gained attention for their dynamic live shows and fashion-forward visual kei aesthetics. After a hiatus in 2013, they reunited in 2017 with renewed momentum, dropping tracks like the punchy "ANSWER" and the anthemic "覚醒シュプレヒコール" that blend catchy hooks with their signature heavy-meets-melodic style. Recent releases like "メリーゴーランド" and "流星" showcase their knack for balancing emotional lyricism with headbanging riffs, keeping their loyal fanbase hooked. Known for evolving their sound while staying rooted in visual kei traditions, AYABIE remains a staple for fans of Japan’s alternative rock underground.
