Phantasmagoria is a Japanese visual kei band. They formed in November of 2004 and their first single "Material Pain" was released in Shoxx Magazine on December 21,2004. The following day they also released their first Maxi-single, "Moonlight Revival".

Phantasmagoria claimed the cover of a well-known visual kei magazine, Cure, only one month after officially forming( February issue; released December 18,2004), becoming one of the fastest indies bands to appear on the cover of a magazine.

Their first ever one-man (according to Kisaki) and first American concerts were on October 21 and 22nd, 2005 at Oni-con in Houston, Texas. Months later, on March 26th, the band played their first Japanese one-man.

Kisaki, bassist and leader of Phantasmagoria, is also the Executive of Under Code Production, a Visual Kei indies label located in Osaka, Japan. Previously, he was the Executive of the indies label Matina.

Rame (bassist of Vidoll) teasingly began referring to the band as "Mago-Mago". (Mago means "grandchildren".) The name is now used by fans as well.

As of February 23rd, 2007 Guitarist Iori and Drummer Matoi will be leaving the band.

On April 18th, KISAKI announced their disbandment, and his retirement.
