Biography
MIRAGE was created by KISAKI. MIRAGE was in activity only for 3 years, but had lot of cds and concerts and yet fans.
MIRAGE was the new band of KISAKI when get out of La:Sadie's. The band started in 1997 with the start components TOMO (vocal, ex-Ｍｉｓｔｙ, Sense of Shape), RUI (guitar, ex-Lucifer, roadie at Tinker Bell), YAYOI (guitar, ex-De≠prive, Sense of Shape), KISAKI (bass, ex-La:Sadie's, Stella Maria) and HIRO (drums, L～CYFER) that lately changed his name to AYAME.
Their first demo-tape, en:Rouge, was released on April 4th, right after 3 singles and a second demo, Cradle of Labyrinth, in July. Their next cd was a mini-album Arcadia and was received and loved by fans. Then more two demo-tapes "Kuro no rakuen" and "Aka no rakuen", that were distribuited on their live concert at Valentine's Day.
For not known reasons, TOMO left the band in the middle of 1998 and was replaced by AKIRA (ex-L～CYFER). After his coming, the visual and sound of MIRAGE became more "dark" and heavy. Their first cd with AKIRA was the mini-album Risk en Eve at 23rd of December.
In 1999, the things were going pretty well with this new face of MIRAGE. They had lot of tours and made a new maxi-single "…Air" and the PV VHS "DEATH AND REBIRTH" in September.
At this time, eventhough, there were rumors of MIRAGE broken up.
Unhapily, the band affirmate these rumor and made their last tour during winter and officialy broke up at January of 2000. MIRAGE said good bye to the fans with a "Box Set" called "to ESCAPE" which included a VHS and a CD.
