::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

ok, this is sound archive from an eroge, but who cares, it's not like I'm going to play these (though it's kinda intriguing, an ADV/FPS style games, seems interesting). This voice....it sounds extremely similar to Fairy Yui of Yousei Teikoku!!!! And the music, just like those from Yousei Teikoku, are very nice!
Then I do some searching, and found this:

電気式華憐音楽集団 (Denkishiki Karen Ongaku Shuudan)

Denkishiki Karen Ongaku Shuudan (or Denkare) is a band (I think) created on the year 2001, which is formed by the next members:

- Denki (Lyricist, Composer)
- Karen (Vocalist, Lyricist)
- Shiki (Guitarrist)
- Dang (Chorus, I think)

They aren't very known in the musical world, except by some performance made for H-games, for example, MinD DeaD BlooD, GUN-KATANA, and others.

Their musical style is a blend of Heavy Metal (a la X Japan, HIZAKI, and others) and Electronic, with some gothic elements. I think that is the best form to describe their musical style.

Simply. Karen, the vocalist of Denkare sounds like Fairy Yui because she's Fairy Yui (or Yui Itsuki, their real name) from Yousei Teikoku, or this seems to be, because in the Yui's official site doesn't appear the information about their musical performances on both bands, but there are other additional date, and is the birth date of Yui Itsuki. The birth date of her is October 25 (the year is unknown), which is the same birth date of Yui from Yousei Teikoku and Karen from Denkare. With this date, I can conclude that Fairy Yui and Karen are the Yui Itsuki's alias on their musical projects.

I love the OST (and the game itself) of Gun-Katana. Black Cyc games have great music.
The one in Gore Screaming Show is awesome too.

¡Great post!

@mojo: yeah, KAREN vocalist is Fairy Yui, the same vocalist of Yousei Teikoku, thus explains why they have extremely similar voice :3

Thanks a lot Siden. I'd have never started searching of denkare if it weren't for your blog.

Funny, I downloaded that black cyc.rar from some forum and have also uploaded it to another server.

Apparently there are a lot more uncommon yousei teikoku songs.
Most of which can be found here:http://akarui-japan.com/showthread.php?t=716

Looking for more yousei/yui now.

I love Denkare does anyone know how I can get their song Chain?

@mojo: yeah there are a lot more Faiyu Yui/Karen singles/albums. But I believe Karen will no longer produce any song unless black-cyc decided to make another eroge featuring her. For now, we have to satisfy with Yousei Teikoku, which is also awesome too :D

@anon: sorry I forgot to put download link. but you can get the songs here
