MASK DISCOGRAPHY!
Because i am terribly bored/fustrated/annoyed&100otherthingsallinone, and is not in the slightest mood to study and/or revise for exams on Wednesday, i bring you Mask Discography and uh, basically a review of them and their music.

    MASK was an amalgam of members from former visual projects. Their music was a unique mix of cutesy oshare tunes slashed together with hard edged rock. They had numerous releases in their rather short career and they never failed to please their fans with their crazy, and adorable, personalities and antics.
    MASK was originally formed in June 2003 with the lineup of: Aoi (ex Shedde and Cynical Biscuit) on vocals, Michiru (ex Aioria, L’yse:nore, S to M, etc.) and Sana (ex De+Myth) on guitars, Kazutake (ex Clair de Lune, Laissez Faire and Aioria) on bass, and NANA (ex Crad le Marry) on drums. MORE..?

 In my opinion, MASK was a very talented band with great musical potential. Their songs, melodies and beats are not only refreshing, but something unique that'll please anyone within the jrock sphere. Their music falls under many sub-genres of this whole rock phase. Whether it be Alternative rock, heavy, screamo, whack, oshare, visual, grunge- the lot - i was still pleased with their sound. Up until this day, i haven't a clue why they disbanded, just the rumours that they all had different paths that they wanted to follow, thus, lead to their disbanding after their last live at Zepp Tokyo one-man May 1st. Though i don't buy it, because erk- come on! T_T. This is what the original disbanding announcement read:

" Activity was done from 2004 August 23rd, "MASK" having the live
of Zepp Tokyo 2006 May 1st, the member 5 person (exhausting and SANA,
not yet scattering, the harmony halberd, MINAMI) we graduate from
MASK. Because when while presently is member respective goal, such as
sense of value and directivity are different with the fact that, it is
difficult to continue activity, everyone judged the reason of
graduation, is. However, this is not backward judgement under any
condition, is the result of the forward discussion. It is not the
criss cross of opinion, it means that each member, advances on the
road which is different facing toward the goal which you aim. Zepp
Tokyo one-man May 1st, becomes the last performance which stands in
stage with the current 5 people.

That also in the future watching over the trend member 5 warmly, we
ask from heart.
