ROUAGE

Visual band, originally formed in 1993 and lasted until 2001 , in Nagoya, Japan, by Kazushi, Rika, Rayzi, Kaiki and Shono. Their sound ranged from gothic to rock. Their bassist Kaiki left the band (later joining with sexy and starting the Soleil label) right before ROUAGE became major in 1996. Yuki then stepped in to take his place. Unfortunately he decided to leave. Some time after Rika called it quits too. The remaining band members changed their name to Stray Pig, but soon after Shono retired. Kazushi and Rayzi then changed the name again, this time to Stray Pig Vanguard. Rika on the other hand went on to form the band Dibs.
