Girugamesh was created in 2003 in the suburbs of Tokyo. However, 2004 should be considered as the true beginning, because it was in that year the band formed its present line up: Satoshi (vocals, ex-Venom), Nii (guitar), Shuu (bass; before Girugamesh he was a roadie for Kagerou) and Яyo (drums).

They band inaugurated its birth by playing a live in Motoyawata ROUTE14 on March 24th, 2004. At the same time, they released their first demo, [kosaki uta] ~kaijou kata enban~.

The band played many lives. In August during the concerts they gave away two free records, jelato and →mikongyaku. In the same month they finally released their first maxi-single, [kaisen sengen] ~kikaku kata enban~. The single reached the 10th place in the Oricion indies chart. Now, that's pretty good for newcomers!

The end of 2004 witnessed the release of their 2nd maxi, [kuukyo no utsuwa] ~kyosaku kata enban~. In February the band went on a winter tour called 2005 fuyu no yukidoke tourou. The final concert was a 'twoman' live, played with HenzeL on February 28th at Meguro rock may can.

March was the month when a recording of their live came out on a DVD for the first time. Girugamesh was featured on KINDLING VOL.1, along with artists such as Phantasmagoria and Vidoll.

On April 15th, Girugamesh played a twoman with Marusa. The concert called Kaisen ('outbreak of war') took place at Takadanobaba AREA, and was commemorated by a release of a coupling CD, Senyuu kyoutou uta, 5 days later.

The band didn't take time to rest, and the following month alredy they released their first mini-album: goku -shohan kata enban-. From May 29th the band had gone on yet another tour. It was a historical one - it ended on July 17th with their first one-man gig. The show at Meguro rock may can was sold out.

The second half of the year was quite busy for the boys as well. In September Girugamesh released a new single, and in October they went on a coupling tour with Luvie. The tour consisted of 14 dates and ended with a two man show.

February 2006 witnessed their first one man tour, and April was the release month of their next single. During a promotional tour accompanying that release fans were also able to buy another, special single.
The band's popularity rose fast, and in September they released their first full album entitled 13's reborn. They also took the opportunity to release their first PV for a song from that album, Owari to mirai.

Some Facts
All the lyrics are written by Satoshi and the music by Яyo
Before Satoshi there was another vocalist in Girugamesh. His name's Tora and now he's the vocalist for Sel'm. Though, like the JAME profile said, the current line up was like the "real" birth of Giru. - thanks to precious4e she provides almost everything... thank you!

^
^hahaha its all satoshi... i love him... the first picture is one of my favorites...

here i'll post the rest of the group...

i love this picture






i can't really find their pictures much...>_<

If I'm not completely mistaken, Giru signed a contract with Gan-Shin Records...so we might see them play in Germany some time soon.

^ oh really... that i didn't know... but yeah they need to come overseas more... may!!! one month i can't wait...

^omg lucky Amber <333
yeah i have some songs if you guys want..and their PV
^^' i can post a list if you like.

yay, a Girugamesh thread. I love their music. Especially Owari to Mirai.

miranduh YES!!! i will love you for that... all the video's i have of them are very low quality except for volcano and Owari to Mirai pv's... if you will i'll love you!

*nods* I just checked...it was announced not too long ago, I got the news with the last press-newsletter. ^^

@miranduh: Please do!

Their Band Name saound really like gilgamesh....the story of the king.....

^yeah i thikn its the same thing but the just changed the l to a ru for the japanese pronouncation? i'm not sure but if you read thier bio thats the word they use for pronoucation



oh yeah you get their newsletters??? >_<

muahahah because he's my favorite of the group lol!!

My favorite song is Having Betrayed is Why ^^
<3333

Man I wish they'll play in the east coast some time. They're one of the few bands that i'm dying to see.

he's mines too!!! ^o^ but i love him more then you... kekeke but yeah i love his eyes its like he's always sending dagers at you kinda like aki and he always looks so evil...

my favorite song is fukai no yami thats the one that got me so into them... but then i like most of all thier songs...

I do. I signed up for the standard newsletter but they changed the system and everybody had to sign up again. I was too lazy to do so, but I guess Marius (press relations officer of Gan-Shin and he also does all the coordination of presswork and interviews, he's the guy I talk to whenever I apply for interviews) put me on the mailinglist for the press-newsletter when I started doing interviews...*shrugs*

^
^ hahah he only looks evil when he's in makeup. He's so freakin adorable without it.

wow... I've never seen him out of makeup.
wow, wow, wow. XD
HOW CUTE!

yes!! haha its not all that bad!!

but my faves have got to be owari to mirai, fukai no yami, having betrayed is why, and mizutamamoyou.
oh scrap that. i love alll their songs its hard to choose. haha.



-pokes amber- YOU get all the luck! -grumbles-

dam*****t! they ARE going to the US with vidoll, myv, A9 and despairs rite?
-bangs head on wall- tell me it isnt trueeee~!

Awwwww...*hugs* I don't even know yet if the DO come. It was just an assumption on my part. I mean, of all the bands that are under contract with Gan-Shin, only about half ever toured europe until now.

But IF they come...I'll definitely apply for an interview.

YES! you have to get an autograph for me if they do. ppppleassseee!

I'll do my best.

^ If in the future you do get a chance to interview them remember to post it up!!! I would love to see and interview with Girugamesh. I haven't really come across any ^^

you know, on the comments for the Owari to Mirai PV, on Youtube, people were complaining because you could see Satoshi's stomach. Why? o_O

I really like his voice. I have such a vocalist fetish

YES GIRUGAMESH IS THE BOMB
ill upload some pics later
THE BOMB MAN THE BOMB

haha. youtube has alll sorts of freaks who leave stupid dumbass comments on jrock vids. like really. is he gay? coz he looks gay. oh so pretty. that cant be a guy. or they start insulting everyone they can. i hate youtube sometimes.



oh anyways! my frd may sub the owari to mirai PV in eng! =)
i'll post it here if anyone is interested then. heh.

^that'll be cool!



LOL yea I read that. I was thinking that these people are CRAZY. Seriously everyone has a stomach so wth is so gross about it??!?!?? lol.

Anyways Satoshi's voice is awesome. Though I was watching a live clip and he seems to run out of breath during screams lol. But i'm sure with more time he'll be perfect ^^

whoever is going to JRock Revolution PLEASE post a live report of Giru. I really want to know how they perform live!! ^^

^
I might be going.
I started listening to Girugamesh not too long ago when I was introduced to them through my friend who also likes J-Rock.
I really want to go because I listen to most of the bands in the line up.

^ aH you're so lucky Aki!! If I was on the west coast I would definitely be there. Please do report if you go! Not only Giru but also D'espairsRay pretty please?!? lol D'espa is like my favorite band (along with Diru).

and...so..what do you think about Giru?

I would like to ask...how big is the Volcano PV you guys have?

I'll do my best. It seems cameras aren't allowed though...
I like a lot of their songs such as Fukai no Yami, Owari to Mirai, and Dirty Blue Blood.
Satoshi's voice is quite powerful and the instrumentals are very rough and hardcore and I like that.

^ haha thanks.

Yea I love Fukai no Yami and Owari to Mirai too.
But I absolutely love Having Betrayed is Why and -Rei- Zero
Their cover is Glamorous Sky is awesome too.

When I first heard Satoshi's voice it was definitely different than what I had imagined. It's a lot...sweeter.... than I thought. Hahha can't seem to find the right word.

Satoshi's voice is melodic in a harsh way. Not that I made any sense just then but at least I tried XD

^ *nods* the harshness of his voice is what makes his voice so good he also got this softness in it at the same time so yeah... but he talks so quiet compare to his singing...


OoO you lucky man! if you every do an interview please let us noe... but yeah thats so cool


i love that picute but yeah theres still sumin about his eyes that makes him still look so evil you noe i can't really make it out... its sexy tho... kinda mysterious....


okies... i'll do that right after this


the l and the ru i guess... but yeah can i get the pv... just to see if its better then the one i got or now... thanks...




mines is 97.3mb... huge

^thanks..that's around the size of mine.. i was just wondering if anyone had a MEGA HQ one haha ~_~ i am obsessed.

Fukai no Yami is amazing..i first heard it watching some fanvid ^__^
Owari to Miraiis awesome ~_^
i also really like Mouja no koushin

^*nods* i heard it from a fanvid too don't remember now... but yeah then my sister got dl the album from a friend and i was like omg its that song...

but yeah i think i can go look for a mega hq one... it might be hard tho...

lol finding girugamesh is harder than finding a needle in a haystack.....they don't seem to be that well known yet

thanks for putting up this thread~ they are pretty talented for their age~ luvv their music haha

haha Girugamesh stuff isn't that hard to find if you look through dl sites. I think i've seen torrents out there with their whole discog. I'll try to find them again.

If I want the videos I usually just used KeepVid and take them off of YouTube hehehehe.

EDIT: if anyone wants the link to where to dl lemme know

Girugamesh is actually really talented and I've liked them for a while.
They're one of the bands that I'm really excited at seeing at JRev.

^ aH don't remind me of JRev.....makes me sad all over again

but yea they're great. One of the few indie bands that I like...
Well...one of the few bands that I like in general lol.

Haha when my friend first texted me about it I sent reply "stop sending me chain mail" because I thought it was fake.

Their CDs were pretty hard to get a hold of though, I hope I can get some when I go to Japan in the summer.

^ Yea I only have their 13s Reborn and goku -shohan kata enban- Though the only other CD i'd REALLY want is [Fukai no Yami]-Meikyou Kata Enban- Maybe they'll have some stuff at JRev though I don't think the singles would be there unless they reprinted some.

i'm interested... ahhah its so hard for me to find them too...>_< but yeah your not goin to jrev? why are you sad?

but yeah i hope they do have the cds and stuff sold over there... i still need to get a couple of them...

oo...I started listening to them recently...I really like them!
