Featuring Artist of the week-Moran

Moran, was formed back at Dec 2007 with the ex. members of Fatima and KuRt, they first started their activity back in End of March 2008 with 2 lives at Takadanobaba AREA. The band started running lives in April and May which they call モランコリック(Morankorikku)vol.2 and vol.3

The group’s interesting image sparks many new fans that are curious to find out how the boys sounded like. Finally in June, Moran started their 2 months consecutive releases with their first single [ELEMENT] which is one of the most anticipated releases in June. The following month they released [Mokka no nukarumi]（目下の泥濘）which first press was sold out during pre-order, proving the band’s gaining popularity among listeners. The band was also featured on magazines such as Shoxx and Cure. The next thing for Moran will probably be the band 1st Oneman Live「MoranHolic」 which is going take place at Takadanobaba AREA on Sept 7 2008.

格言：

Our featuring artist today is Moran! (＝⌒▽⌒＝)
Moran really caught my eyes first with their band image, which is really quite different from many bands out there. Their sound proves that under their images, they really quite something.

Their songs range frm rock ballads to even dance songs. Hitomi’s voice posses a certain clean and melancholy factor which can really drive you nuts with songs such as “Element” and “ Konseki to Canvas” （目下の泥濘）. The arrangement and mixing of the melodies in their singles are also beautifully done. But the only thing that I had to pick from them is maybe a lack of surprising factor as the band members are all consider to have much experiences in the industry, thus somehow everything just sound too familiar But still their singles are pleasures treats to your speakers.

My favorite song will be “Party Monster” , this song is quite different from the other 2 songs in [Element], it is more of a dance track if I had to say and something refreshing to hear. I am quite sure we will be seeing more of Moran around in the future, so keep your eyes from them~ (^O^)
