Psycho le Cému

Formed in 1999 in Himeji, Hyogo prefecture. The band began with the concept, “to present entertainment as artists not bound by genre.”
March 2000: Released their first single “Kronos” from Escape Records label.
2001: Released their fourth single “REMEMBERANCE” from PLUG RECORDS label and gains popularity for their live tour shows, in which tickets were sold out in a day. They also released one greatest hits album and two original albums.
October 2002: Released their first major label single “Ai no Uta” from Nippon Crown Record label and makes their first appearance on the Oricon Single’s chart, ranking No.10.
2003: Released their second single “Gekiai Merry-Go-Round / Shunkashuutou” in January (ranks No.8 on Oricon Single’s chart) and a cover single of Kome Kome Club’s song “Roman Hiko” (ranks No.11) in April, which drew more fans, and gained more popularity as a cosplay band. In May, under the stage name “Saikoro Korokke”, they released a double A-side single “Miracle High Tension!”, being the opening song of the TV Tokyo channel anime “Croket!”, and “VISITOR”, being the ending song. In September, they released their first album “FRONTIERS” (ranks No.6 on Oricon chart).
Before the band takes a break from June 2005, they released seven singles and two albums from Nippon Crown Record label.
Their attractiveness lies behind their unique conceptual live performances. They turn their concert into an entertainment show, dancing and acting, wearing various cosplays such as space pirates and Momotaro, a Japanese folklore hero. Their entertainment style became popular among overseas countries and the show they held in the United States, in 2004, was a great success. They were also chosen as one of the Newsweek Japan’s “100 Most Respected Japanese People in the World” (October 20, 2004 issue). They have also appeared on Fuji Television’s TV program “Domoto Kyodai”.
After taking a break from June 2005, they made a comeback in 2006 and took another break at the end of the year, making another comeback in 2009. Band members Lida and YURA-sama joined and formed a duo band “Dacco”. YURA-sama also joined other visual kei musicians and led a musical “Arasta”. AYA (guitar) and seek (bass) joined a rock band “Mix Speaker’s Inc.” and DAISHI (vocals) joined “SiXX”.
