Raphael

This's a tribute fanpage for Raphael.We wanna have a place for fans to remember Raphael although they disbanded for a long time ago.Hope all of you guys will join and support the page.Thankz you!Raphael was formed in March on 1997 by bassist Yukito and leader/guitarist Kazuki. Kazuki went to karaoke with Yuki he found that he loved Yuki's voice and asked him to join the band. Later they met Hiro and asked him to join. Hiro had a tough decision between attending school or joining the band, but he eventually decided on the latter. After Hiro's younger sister, who had admired Yukito discussed it with him, he decided to join. They only played for 2 years in Indies scene, they went major in mid 1999. But in 2000 they decided to break up, they played their "Graduation Live" at Nippon Budokan on March 4th.YUKI and Hiro began a collaborative project named RICE while YUKITO went on to form BLACK LOVE.ABOUT KAZUKIKazuki (華月) was the founder, leader & guitarist of Raphael. He composed almost all of Raphael's music. He passed away on the 31st of October, 2000 due to a tranquilizer overdose. Before he passed away, he formed his side-project Yuri Juujidan. This band consisted of Chris Darkschneider (none other than Kazuki himself) on vocals, Kurt Burton (Kuruto, ex-Pleur) on bass and Mask on guitar. Their music is more electronical, unfortunately they only released one Maxi-Single and all of the song is instrumental because Kazuki passed away before being able to record the vocal track.A tribute page to Watanabe Kazukihttp://www.myspace.com/kazuki_tributeContact to the owner of the page :[email protected]HERE'S OUR BANNERS.PLS PUT THEM ON YOUR PAGE TO SUPPORT THE PAGE.THANKS YOU!Banners made by Boku to BokuEternal WishEvergreenLost Graduation
