Fanatic Crisis (Japanese: ファナティック・クライシス, often stylized as FANATIC◇CRISIS, and simply called FtC by fans) was a Japanese visual kei rock band active from 1992–2005.[1] Their most successful singles were Hi no Tori, Maybe true, and 7[seven], all of which cracked the Oricon top 10 charts at the time of their release. They are called "the big four of visual kei bands" along with Malice Mizer, Shazna and La'cryma Christi back then.[2]

History

Origins

The band was formed in 1992 in Nagoya, as part of the Visual kei movement, among similar bands such as Kuroyume, Rouage, and Laputa. In 1993, Shun joined on guitar. In 1994, they self-released their first demo-tape Karma, with Tatsuya on drums. Tatsuya left after the release of their first independent album, Taiyou no Toriko, published by the label Noir, in 1995. In 1996, Tohru joined, after leaving the visual band Of-J, and joined on drums. That year, they released their second independent album, Mask. Afterwards, their lineup remained consistent until their subsequent breakup in 2005.

Major Debut

Their major label debut came after signing with For Life Records, where they released two albums, One -one for all- and The Lost Innocent. One -one for all- was named one of the top albums from 1989-1998 in a 2004 issue of the music magazine Band Yarouze.[3] In 2000, they switched to the Stoic Stone label and released their sixth album, EAS. The band's last original album was 2004's Marvelous+, before their final concert and disbandment.

Breakup and Solo Work

In 2005, they played their final concert at Tokyo Bay NK Hall. A two-disc DVD set of this concert was released following the performance. Since their disbandment, Tsutomu has continued recording music, releasing several albums and singles, and has been working as a jewelry designer and graphic artist.[4] Shun has composed music for other artists and various anime soundtracks. Kazuya joined with vocalist Aoi to form the short-lived group Bounty. Afterwards, both Shun and Kazuya joined with Zero and Tsukasa (from D'espairs Ray) and Ricky (from Dasein) to form the group THE MICRO HEAD 4N'S.
