ミサ
Misa Solo



In December of 1998 Da'vid/shito:aL decide their disbandment (although it wouldn't happen until one month after), and Misa, showing his desire of continuing creating music, release a demo tape as solo, using only synthezisers and his voice.
Tachibana Mai participes in the demo production as Sound Advisor, and a few months later him and Misa form Klein Kaiser.

Since the only work in Misa's solo was a demo tape, here it is:

Notes: This tape contains 9 songs of 100% pure, raw Misa, with the return of more aggressive music reminiscent of Nageki Shito, and a lot of experimental sounds; through all the tracks we get to hear a lot of different styles Misa is capable to do within his unique way of composing.
In this demo collaborated Mai as sound advisor, and Ya-su as yen advisor, who was the vocalist of Mai's band before Klein Kaiser, GRASS.
"East of Eden" (Kreis) appears in the credits and Yukiya also in the very special thanks.
I think this demo was powerful enough to just make a CD album, but for some reason (probably money issues) Misa could only release it in tape format, since probably he didn't wanted to make it in very limited quantity so many people could listen to his music; the demo is sold out by now, but if you search around every now and then in some indies shops such as Third Stage, you might find it.
Same as in the Nageki Shito demo tapes, the lyrics aren't complete on the booklet, only fragments.
