Phantasmagoria:

Phantasmagoria was founded by KISAKI on November 1st, 2004. The band became active shortly thereafter, and held their First Live performance on December 7th at Y2K Roppongi. Following their debut, they held lives at Shibuya O-West on the 14th, Kawasaki Club Citta' on the 15th, and their first live in Kansai at Osaka Muse on December 18th. The debut of Phantasmagoria stirred-up enough hype in the music scene to attract the attention of CURE Magazine, who soon featured Phantasmagoria on the cover of their latest issue. This issue was released on December 18th. It was the fastest any new band has ever been featured on a cover in CURE's history.

On December 21st, Phantasmagoria released a "SHOXX SPECIAL CD" that came free with SHOXX magazine, featuring their Material Pain song on it. The next day, on December 22nd, they released 5,000 copies of their 1st Maxi Single: 「Moonlight Revival」 which featured the 3 tracks: 01-Moonlight Revival~into the Phantasmagoria~, 02-Pixy false, 03-Fairy times memory. Following its release, they held lives in Osaka , Tokyo , and Nagoya throughout the end of December, ending the tour with an All-Night live at Esaka Muse on New Year's Eve. Around this time in December, Shion (the drummer) incurred a foot injury, which caused him to take a temporary break from band activities.

At the beginning of 2005, UNDER CODE PRODUCTION held the "KISAKI BAND 10 Year Anniversary Memorial Event" Remain of the 10th Years History This was a Sold Out event held on January 7th at Shibuya O-West featuring Phantasmagoria, Vidoll, +D'espairsRay+, D, MASK, 12012, and Shelly Trip Realize. From the middle of January into the first weeks of February, Phantasmagoria continued to spread their music throughout Japan , touring at live houses in Kobe , Nagoya , Osaka , Esaka, and Shibuya.

With their sudden boom in popularity, the 「Moonlight Revival」 single was Sold Out in no time, and for the longest time, Phantasmagoria has had no CDs available for sale at their lives. Tour Goods and Photosets are also going fast. Of the 8 photosets they've released, 4 have already completely sold out, and the others aren't far behind. At the moment, KISAKI's presence can be felt all over Kansai. His outfits from his former bands have been on display at the Like An Edison in Osaka since December (when Phantasmagoria first started activities), and Phantasmagoria's music is played on loop in all of the local visual-kei stores. As a talented musician and the head of UNDER CODE, there is no doubt that KISAKI is one of the most respected figures in the Kansai music scene.
