Rcradle - Float (2002)

"[Gin no Shizuku] (「銀の雫」)", 2002.


Rcradle formed in 1999. In early 2001, the group released its first demo "MPD" but soon after its release, Rcradle had its first lineup change when bassist Aki left. He was then replaced by Shun (瞬) and in June of 2001, the group released its first mini-album, "Inner Moon", which would impressively sell out and in early 2002, Rcradle released their first single, which was self-titled and live-distributed only. Later in 2002, the group released its first full length album "[Gin no Shizuku] (「銀の雫」)", which would have significantly stronger sales than "Inner Moon", and Rcradle would release a few more live-distributed singles throughout 2002 before abruptly disbanding in early 2003. Shun went on to join the popular indies visual group Vall'na Racill as a guitarist, which he was active in until eventually leaving by the end of 2003. The drummer of Rcradle, Mika (未架), went on to join the legendary visual group Rentrer en Soi, with Mika reuniting with Shun when he also joined in 2004. Both Mika and Shun remained active in Rentrer en Soi until its official disbandment in 2008 and afterwards, Shun retired from the visual scene while Mika formed the project Forbidden Days Rhapsody, which would also fold by 2013. Afterwards, he joined the extremely popular visual supergroup Sukekiyo, which he remains active in today.
