Fate Gear is basically Captain Mina (the writer of most, if not all, Destrose songs, Fate Gear still performs a bunch of them) and Haruka (drums). All the rest are "crew" aka guest members nowadays. Just like with Destrose, the band has been a revolving door, although I have a feeling Mina nowadays has found a way to keep most people she works with happy since some of the ex-members are still performing for the live shows. Their keyboard player (Kurosaki) recently left and has left music altogether if I'm not mistaken, she was also a fulltime member of the band for a year or two. The bassists, Erika, in most videos (and usually live) used to be a member, but went to Pinkish Crown (who are now on hiatus). Nana has been doing live vocals for a long time in most of their shows with how versatile she is, I have seen her sing everything from harsh vocals like here to old school metal in duet with I believe the vocalist from Loudness during one of Haruka's Session live sets and she is usually showing up for the MV's as well. Nana's current bands are Gungire (which are way heavier than this, but still include a mix of harsh and cleans) and Theo Nova. I actually really like Nana's cleans, including live. She is actually the reason why I kept checking them out in the beginning. The first time was in a 3-band show (streamed) with Exist Trace and Ibuki solo and I though she blew both the vocalist from Exist Trace and especially Ibuki out of the water back then even though both of them are really good vocalists, so I was immediately sold. They had a song or two with all the vocalists (and a bunch of the members) on stage, so it was easier to compare. She is also very good at commanding the crowd and reminds me a bit of Regan from Saiseiga in that regard. I don't know a lot about the other guest vocalist, but I have seen under the MV that other people seem to know her and like her. Most of their newer albums have a mix of vocalists across the tracks. Funnily enough, even Mina has vocals on one of the tracks of their newest album for the first time. And yes, Jill is also present on this track, she has been on a couple of other ones over the years. Jill is somewhat of a hired gun and I have seen her show up with multiple bands, which I guess is one of the things that you can do when you are in a self-produced/basically doujin band like Unlucky Morpheus (also check out her project Tonerico with the violin player from Soli). Edit: well apparently someone already put most of this info (I missed it before writing mine), they clearly know more about Fate Gear than I do though. That said, about Nana's bands: Reasterisk was Nana's old band, although I don't think Theo Nova perform a lot any more either, her main focus is Gungire nowadays.

橋村姫 - Hime Hashimura - singer songwriter, guitarist. Not known as a metal singer AFAIK. Has own website, has recorded several albums / mini-albums. Her voice works well in this context. Fate Gear is basically (Captain) Mina. First took flight in 2015. The line-up of the band is pretty fluid. A lot depends on who is available. Erica (bass) and Haruka (drums) are regulars, and Nana often does vocals. Keyboards - varies. Lots of videos on KZbin. Some of their music is reworkings of Destrose songs but most are originals. Thematically some are based around the airship Fate Gear and the adventures of the crew. Others are more mainstream metal. Check "The Sky Pirates" video for more on the airship side of things. Other videos worth a gander : Scars in My Life ; Headless Goddess, Winds of Fall (but all of them are OK.)

OK, try to stay with this. Fate gear have 2 members Mina (ex-Drestrose), and Haruka on drums. Haruka is also an artist and has had a amine on Japanese TV, and does some of the album artwork. On bass is Erika, who used to be a member but left a few years ago, to join Pinkish Crown. But after her replacement left Fate Gear, Erika came back to help out as a support member. They used to have a keyboard player called Yui, but she was replaced by Kurosaki, who had to leave due to family issues, but no one has replaced her. And yes that was Jill, she has joined them on 4 or 5 other songs. OK now the singers. Fate Gear used to have a full time singer, but like all good Japanese singers, she became ill and stopped singing, and now does amine voice acting. Now Mina likes to pick the singer to match the song, from a pool of people she knows, Nana is the one that she chooses a lot, the growler in this song and many others, but can sing clean. She also has her own bands Reasterisk and Gungera. Nana is the one you are more than likely see at a live show. The other singer in this video is Hime Hashimura, who is also in a band with Mitsuru, who used to be in Bridear. They have also used Ibuki (ex Disqualia), and was going to be the sing in Destrose, but Destrose split just before. She sang with Fate Gear @ Metal Matsuri in London, when I 1st saw them. They has also used Maki Oyama, has sung a few tracks for them. Rami, who used to sing for Aldious. Plus maybe 10 others I can't remember. They are about to do their 1st tour in Canada, and Hime Hashimura is going as singer, mainly because Nana has her own bands ding stuff. Also Junna is going on the tour to play drums, like she did last year on Fear Gears Euro tour, as Haruka is committed to other things. Next I'd put forward MEGABULLETS by them kzbin.info/www/bejne/rl6QpHqwpKatqKM Different sound and feel, oh and hey, they had 4 members of the band then.

Jill has appeared on a couple of songs and FG videos. Mini the guitarist has used several vocalists over the years. More recently and most used is Nana (growler) as she is most versatile. She has her own band called Gungire. Others that have been used are Rami ex:Aldious and Ibuki ex:Disqualia. Mitsuru ex:Bridear was featured for a second guitar not that long ago. Hime and Junna (drums) will be joining Mina and Erika on FG's Canadian tour in August.

Fate Gear another of the bands that come from the former members of Destrose.

[@Harry_Creter_AKA_Kaldath]

absoluely NOT for me with those growls .. Absolutely hate that in music unless it is used very sparingly as accents.

[@lazylion1421]

Yes, the violinist is Jill. Nana does the growling in this song, but during many of their gigs she does the clean voices too. Not my favourite song of them. To much growling.
