176BIZ

176BIZ (or "bizu ichi nana roku") is a somewhat vis-kei/hard rock band very much in the vein of Psycho le Cemu, at least musically speaking. This is mainly due to 176BIZ's singer Yu sounding and delivering very much like Daishi from Psycho. (No one can hold a candle to Psycho's visual style!) 176BIZ is a very young band, having only formed in 2005, releasing their first album in 2006. They were originally formed by ex-Panic Channel bassist Tara, who has since left 176BIZ as well. Their outward appearance is along the lines of a regular glam rock band, with tight jeans, torn shirts and poofy hair ala early Mötley Crüe. This fits well with their sound, which is much more rock oriented than your average vis-kei goth band. Like Psycho le Cemu, they have a rather positive, grand scope to their arrangements, but 176BIZ usually keep things rocking and very guitar oriented instead of slipping into dance/para para territory.
