Baroque - 2004 - Sug Life - Gariron

Change to 720p for best audio quality.
Baroque began with the members Ryo, Akira, Kei, Bansaku, and Naru. In Late 2001, Baroque released 2 demotapes. After releasing a mini-album and video tape, Naru left the band in March and was replaced by Yuji. During this time, the band was called "Oshare Kei" or "Baroque kei" by media sources.
In 2002, still as an independent band, Baroque released three singles and was able to play at NHK Hall. After the singles were released, Yuji left the band due to problems with his brain/memory.
Their first major single was Gakidou. When Baroque went major in 2003, their sound shifted and included a drum machine; also their style shifted to casual clothing. Their second major single "Ila" in particular had a trance/electronica sound.
Shortly after their major label debut, the band's bassist announced he was resigning. The band announced on September 11th that they would break up, but they continued activities through the rest of the year. Their last concert was a sold out performance at Zepp Tokyo on December 25, 2004.
