East of Eden - Evolve Reaction and Discussion! 

This is indeed a violin-centered band, cause the band is Ayasa's (the violinist) project. I hope this superband will last for long.

this is great super group. I loved it. The guitarist is Yuki, she one of the guitarist for the instrumental band D-Drive.

My new Japanese obsession! 😋 New single *This Moment* is out now!

The bassists name is Wakazaemon (Waka for short). She is also the bassist for Marty Friedmans band!!!!

I love that cross between English and Japanese. Brilliant iconic women.

nana hatori who wrote lyrics for this song, co-wrote lyrics for a couple of Lovebites song on their second album (Addicted, Mastermind 01, We the United) and also The Crusade from their Battle Against Damnation EP, which is Lovebites tribute to Iron Maidens Aces High (a great song you should react to). They also got help from Mao with composing the song, who is one of the two main composer together with Miyako for Lovebites.

Yuki(Gt.) used to play Painkiller (Judas Priest cover)🔥 What a Super Band🎵

Love Mizuki and her work with Lonesome Blue…and of course - Yuki

Yuki 🔥❤️

Reminded me of a "More Japanese" version of Lonesome Blue. I think Mao's songwriting and arranging is a big part of that since he seems to be the main songwriter/arranger for both bands.

As was mentioned by others, the lead singer was one of the two center singers for the idol group Predia that disbanded in 2022. What wasn't mentioned is that about 8 years ago, this singer (Akane Minato, but Akane Sakae on her Twitter) was in a small acoustic group with Akane Hirose (drummer) and Kanami Tono (guitar) from the rock group Band-Maid. When Band-Maid started getting more successful, the side group with Akane Minato (known as Mochi to Chiizu) was disbanded.

A new supergroup! Most of the members have day jobs, so it’s not clear this is more than a project, but we’ll see. The hook? This is a metal band built around a violinist. To top it off, she plays a custom five-string violin. I’d say that qualifies as metal. Violin: Ayasa (currently with Morphonica) Guitar: Yuki (founder and co-lead in D-Drive) Bass: Wakazaemon (bassist with Marty Friedman and other projects) Drums: Mizuki (x Lonesome Blue) Vocals: Akane Minato (x Predia, several other groups) Two songs posted to date, huge potential! Japan is drowning in talent....

Ayasa is as good on the violin as Jill from Unlucky Morpheus

Jsem hardrock fanda, nejsem fanoušek metalu, něco poslechnu a líbi se mi to, něco zatratím do nejhlubších pekel! 👹 Ale tohle je první metalová kapela, pro kterou si dělám playlist v mé YT knihovně! A to už jsem slyšel více japonských metal kapel jako např. Lovebites, Bridear, ale to jsou jen dobré muzikantky, ale hrající tupé americké melodie, bez invence! Tohle je o level výše! 😝 I'm a hard rock fan, I'm not a metal fan, I listen to something and I like it, I'll damn something to the deepest hell! 👹 But this is the first metal band I'm making a playlist for in my YT library! And I've heard more Japanese metal bands like Lovebites, Bridear, but they're just good musicians playing dull American tunes, no invention! This is a level above! 😝
