Der Zibet (stylized as DER ZIBET) is a Japanese rock band formed in 1984, which made its debut in 1985.[1] They went on an indefinite hiatus in 1996, but resumed activities in 2007.[1]

History

Der Zibet was formed in 1984 by vocalist Issay and bassist Hal, who were previously in a band called Issay and Suicides.[2] They were joined by guitarist Hikaru, drummer Mayumi and Mahito on keyboards. Only a year later, Mahito left the group just before they signed to a major record label (though he would continue to perform with them as a support member) and they released their debut album Violetter Ball.[2]

Their fourth album Garden was recorded in London in 1988, with the process was videotaped and released on VHS.[2] Der Zibet continued to put out many releases and collaborate with other artists, but after their 1996 live compilation album Ari the band went on hiatus.[2]

In 2007 Der Zibet resumed activities, with Mahito a full member again.[1] They released their thirteenth studio album Primitive on March 6, 2009.[3] On November 10, 2010, they released the album Kaikoteki Mirai ~ Nostalgic Future, which is composed of new songs as well as self cover, live and remix versions of songs from throughout their 25 year career.[4]

In 2012 they released two more studio albums, Romanoid 1 and Romanoid 2.
