Inazuma (イナズマ) - Hyper Love (ハイパーラヴ) (2002)

"Hyper Love (ハイパーラヴ)", 2002.


Inazuma (イナズマ) formed in 2001. Late that year, the group released its first demo, "We Are Inazuman (ウィー・アー・イナズマン)", and later released its second demo, "Hyper Love (ハイパーラヴ)", in January of 2002, which was later repressed a second time that May. Inazuma would release a few more demos throughout 2002, and later released their first mini-album, "You Are Inazuman (You Are イナズマン)", in May of 2003, which was limited to 1,000 copies. The group would tour a bit throughout 2003, but eventually ended up disbanding by the end of the year. Frontman Kei (けい) went on to join the obscure indies group ACP, which would soon split as well. He then reunited with the bassist of Inazuma, Naruki (なるき), and the two would then form the indies group Gung, which would also fold by 2010. Afterwards, both Kei and Naruki then retired from the visual scene, with Kei eventually passing away as well from unknown causes. The drummer of Inazuma, Reiya (れいや), went on to join the cult visual group Ruephy-Alive (ルフィー嬋命), which also folded in 2005. He would then join the popular indies visual group Pashya, which would fold in 2007, and Reiya then joined another popular visual group Chariots, which he left in 2009. He then joined the extremely popular visual group Rin (凛) -The End of Corruption-, until he eventually left that group as well in 2014. After Reiya left Rin, he then retired from the visual scene.
