PROFILE
Mixing the melodic, elegant, and aggressive, Bergerac is a visual kei band probably known best for their light, cheery songs, but they're also very talented when it comes to making darker, heavy tracks. This span of styles may account for their growing popularity, as they are able to reach fans of different sounds.
Although the band is relatively young, it has gone through a number of member changes. Despite that, Bergerac has remained popular with fans and has already seen a number of their songs in the top 20 of the Oricon indie charts.

BIOGRAPHY
Bergerac was formed in 2004 with vocalist Itsuki, guitarists Satsuki (ex-Risky vice)and Migushi (ex-La via), Kyosuke (ex-La via) on bass, and drummer Yuu.
Throughout 2004 and 2005, Bergerac was a fixture in the visual kei live house scene, frequenting hot spots like Urawa Narciss, Holiday Shinjuku, Takadanobaba Area, and Meguro Rokumeikan. At the end of 2005, bassist Kyosuke left, and in 2006, the band's first maxi-single, Suisai to ryuuseigun, went on sale. In March, bassist Tatsuha (ex-tsukisaya) joined, at first as a support member. Two months later, guitarist Migushi left and Kazuki (ex-MerCurious) replaced him in May.
The following year saw several great successes for the band: to start off the year, they had their first oneman live. Their maxi-single Primary reached 8th place on the Oricon indies chart, and four months later their single Yume ni mau, kimi no sugata reached 6th. To top it off, in November the band had their third solo show.
2007 was not without more band member changes though. In May Yuu left and was replaced by Iru (ex-Die La'vice) in June. Kazuki left in November, resulting in the band's current line-up: vocalist Itsuki, Satsuki on guitar, bass player Tatsuha, and Iru on drums.
2008 is shaping up to be another promising year for Bergerac. In January they released their first live DVD and in March their new maxi-single AMETHYST went on sale. This one was a hit as well, reaching 18th on the charts. Now the band is preparing for their oneman show spiritual overdrive, on May 10.
Despite changes in the line-up, Bergerac has not slowed down and their popularity is only growing. The visual kei scene should certainly be expecting a lot more from this band in the future. |
