DIAURA

Artist

Japanese visual kei rock band fronted by vocalist yo-ka. They build an idiosyncratic worldview around a dictatorship concept, addressing fans as their subjects, paired with heavy guitar riffs and dramatic vocal climaxes. Through intense live shows and a flair for German-flavored song titles, they have carved out a firm position in the visual kei scene. They have contributed music to the TV anime Handa-kun, an absurd school comedy based on Satsuki Yoshino's manga and centered on Sei Handa, a teenage calligrapher revered as an aloof charismatic figure, bringing their grandiose, serious rock sound into a surprising context.
