Ayabie (アヤビエ Ayabie?), is an indie Japanese rock band of the visual kei variety. Dressed in a kinky combination of traditional Japanese garb with psychedelic colours and patterns, Ayabie makes a mind-boggling and unforgettable statement.

[edit] Biography

Ayabie was formed in the early spring of 2004 by ex-Hinawana members Ryouhei, Takehito and Intetsu. The fourth member to be brought into the band was ex-MASK and ex-Cynical Biscuit vocalist Aoi. Newest to the band is drummer Kenzo. Their music is addictive as it blends an almost playful combination of electronic sounds and often gives the impression of being a zany combination of hard and soft sounds precisely the basic requirements for any great Visual Kei music. Together with Aoi´s soft yet strong voice, this music gets to young people and this is reflected in the sales of the group's CDs. Ayabie offers a very different kind of music which is gaining appeal to a wider audience, performed by a group with passion in their music and in their performance. Their debut album was released on March 21, 2005. 'Ayabie Sokuka Ongenshuu' and it was, unsurprisingly, an immediate hit. It also came with a bonus DVD which included a few of their music videos. In the summer of 2006, Ayabie announced that their lead-guitarist & group leader, Ryouhei, would leave the band permanently. Reasons for his departure were not specifically explained, but simply that he and the group shared different idea's. Although sharing differences, the band as well as Ryouhei himself stated that they would remain good friends. On his leave, Ryouhei stated that he would indeed continue his musical career, and soon afterwards started a new band entitled "Megamasso" (メガマソ).

Currently, Ayabie just released a new single, 'Kimi no koe to yakusoku' (君の声と約束). The single was released in A and B-TYPE form (each single containing a different b-side track). They are also apparently working on a new album which should be released very soon, and have found a temporary support guitarist, Yumehito (ex-Soroban).
