[ Band ] NEGA - Profile

NEGA

Nega [ネガ] debut sebagai new addition di UNDER CODE PRODUCTION pada tahun 2006 dan merupakan salah satu band visual paling eksperimental pada scene-nya waktu itu. dengan music hardcore sampai Atmospheric Instrumentals. Band ini mencampurkan mid-tempo dan gitar melodi untuk menciptakan sound khas mereka sendiri.

line up :

Vocals: Jin
Guitar: SAN
Bass: Ray
Drums: Yuu

Guitar: Hiroki [2006 / 2007 ]

Guitar: marhi (ex- Masahiro) [2006 / 2006 - support member]
Guitar: Kore [0000 / 0000 - support member]
Guitar: Taisuke [0000 / 0000 - support member]

Nega [ネガ] lahir sebagai duo project pada bulan Desember 2004 dengan bassist Ray (ex-Aliene Ma'riage dan Vinett ) lalu Jin sebagai vocalist. Rilisan pertama mereka adalah berupa demo tape “Yoru ni Aru Kibou, Asa ni Kuru Zetsubou”. Tidak lama setelah itu Yuu bergabung sebagai drummer. Dan setelah berpartisipasi dalam CD Omnibus, mereka merilis first mini album mereka “THE Faded Film of a Japanese Sadness”.　

Dengan menggunakan support member sejak mereka terbentuk, band ini tidak memperoleh guitarist resmi sampai Hiroki bergabung pada bulan maret 2006. Lalu masih di tahun yang sama juga SAN bergabung sebagai second guitarist melengkapi line-up mereka. Segera setelah itu band Nega memulai tour yang luas, mereka berpartisipasi dalam tour berpasangan dengan Cannival Method dan menjual sebuah collaborative CD di live event.

Sebagai Nega mereka tumbuh lebih populer dalam ruang lingkup Indie, dan mulai diperhatikan oleh label rekaman sampai akhirnya UNDER CODE PRODUCTION --sebuah perusahaan label dibawah naungan Kisaki-- Mengajak mereka untuk bergabung pada bulan Desember 2006. Nega Menggebrak tahun 2007 dengan serangkaian Live dan dua single baru mereka.

Pada bulan April mereka merilis double mini album “dole” dan “hole”. Meski band ini sedang melejit-melejitnya mereka harus bersedih karena Hiroki Sang Guitarist harus meninggalakan band pada bulan Juni. Meskipun begitu, Nega tidak membiarkan ini melukai produksi lagu-lagu mereka, ini terlihat dari munculnya tiga single baru pada musim panas tahun itu. pada bulan oktober di tahun yang sama mereka perform di C.C Lemon Hall dan tampil di berbagai Coupling Artist album.

Pada tahun 2008, Nega dikenal baik dalam ruang lingkup Indie dan memulai tahun itu dengan sebuah Live kekacauan pada bulan Januari selama perilisan mini album mereka “ЯeBirtH Under the Chaos”. Pada bulan maret mereka pada event ulang tahun Kisaki. Pada musim panas mereka kembali merilis single dan perform si acara Phantasmagoria Tribute Live di Shibuya O-West dan kemudian di Phantasmagoria Event di Shibuya AX sehari setelahnya.

Nega memulai tahun 2009 dengan beberapa konser. Nega menghabiskan beberapa waktu mereka di studio rekaman selama musim semi dan merilis dua single. Pada bulan Juli Nega merayakan debut album pertama mereka “GRAVE OF THE SACRIFICE” dan terus mempromosikannya selama konser mereka di musim gugur.

Sementara 2010 menjadi tahun yang baik untuk Nega, selain konser-konser mereka juga mengeluarkan full album kedua mereka “Negativism” pada bulan Mei. Lalu pada bulan Juli mereka mengumumkan akan hiatus pada bulan September. Meski pengumuman ini mengecewakan, mereka mengejutkan para fans dengan tampil di Under Code Production Countdown Event di Osaka pada 31 Desember. Para fans juga dikejutkan dengan pemberitaan bahwa mereka membentuk sebuah band baru bernama “PERESTROIKA” dimana semua member pun berganti nama mereka dan dengan image yang dan music style yang ‘sedikit’ menyimpang dari Nega. Itu sungguh membuat fans berpikir bahwa Nega akan benar-benar disband.

Setelah break mereka, SAN muncul dalam session band pada akhir desember selama UNDER CODE Event dan menulis di blognya bahwa break mereka sungguh-sungguh hanya untuk sementara dan fans harus menunggu kembalinya Nega.

Dan mereka benar-benar menepati kata-kata mereka, Nega kembali muncul pada 2011. Pada awal musim semi mereka menggebarak studio rekaman untuk mempersiapkan kembalinya mereka. Pada bulan Mei mereka membuat beberapa pengumuman menarik, pertama mereka akan merilis maxi single “FABLE IN THE COLD BED” dalam 3 tipe pada 6 Juli. Selain itu Nega akan menggelar konser revival mereka pada 26 Juli di Shibuya O-West sekaligus merayakan ulang tahun mereka yang ke-6 di saat yang sama. Dan mereka juga merubah nama mereka dari Nega [ネガ] menjadi NEGA (dengan lambang mata).

Nega juga berpartisipasi dalam LINK UNITED for JAPAN VOL:2 yang disponsori oleh UNDER CODE PRODUCTION untuk para korban gempa di bulan Maret.

Dan pada bulan September Nega melakukan sejumlah konser di luar negeri seperti Prancis. Belanda dan Jerman. Lalu mereka kembali mengeluarkan maxi single “DELUGE” yang juga di rilis dalam tiga tipe pada bulan November dan mengumumkan akan ada sebuah Album yang dirilis pada tahun 2012 bertitle “Vanitas”,tapi mereka masih merahasiakan untuk tanggal dan bulan perilisan.
