history
The band was founded in 2003 by the siblings Maiko ( vocals ) and Takuro ( bass ) and completed by Natu ( drums ) and Teru ( guitar ). In 2004 Natu left the band and was replaced by Haru. After playing in different places in Japan and also in Taiwan , they signed a contract with the music label Human Noise Records .
On 3 November 2005 published Dazzle Vision her first EP , entitled Origin of Dazzle . This is characterized by the mixture of Death Metal , Grunge and Maiko's vocals , which alternates between clear and screaming passages in the style of Melodic Death Metal . At the end of 2006 Teru also left the band. Ryu joined them to replace them. The band's breakthrough came with a ten-day tour of Taiwan, which also included an appearance at the Spring Scream Festival. They then released their first album Camellia Japonica on April 25, 2007 . A music video for the song Camellia was shot. On March 28, 2008 Origin of Dazzle was published a second time. Exactly one year after Camellia Japonica was released , on April 25, 2008, Ryu announced that he was leaving Dazzle Vision. With the new guitarist Yu, the band released the album Crystal Childern on November 28, 2008 . A music video was also produced for the song Here . This was followed by the publication of its own director recorded single Metsu / All Refused .
In April 2010 came Dazzle Vision on the Anime - Convention Sakura - Con in Seattle on. This was the first time it appeared in the United States . The fourth album and also the US debut of the band To the Next was released on May 12, 2010. Before shooting the music video for Vision , Yu had to end his guitar career due to his poor physical condition . Guitarist number four became John. In the first half of 2011, two singles, namely Sakura (February 23) and Reason (March 30), as well as the download single Kirari (April 14) were released, followed by their fifth studio album Kirari (i.e. sparkling), which was released on June 3, 2011.

The single Evolution followed on November 9, 2012. The music videos for Second and Evolution were also released in 2012. In April 2013, John, plagued by health problems , was forced to leave the band. His place was taken over by Tony, who earlier in the band SYN , the new band of former High and Mighty Color - singer had played HALCA. The album Final Attack was released on March 7, 2014 .

Motto
The motto of Dazzle Vision was "Children Create the World", this saying is also part of their band logo . Maiko said in an interview :
"Our concept is" Children create the world. " Adults, who are moving the world and society now, all started out as children. As we grow up, we tend to justify escaping or compromising by making excuses. In a pure way, we want to deliver the thoughts we had as children to create a wonderful world. "
“Our concept is: Children create the world, adults who now influence society and the world were all children, unfortunately we tend to lose our lightheartedness on the way of growing up. Actually, we want to keep the thoughts we had as children in order to create a wonderful world. "
style
Dazzle Vision were known for their albums each having a new distinctive sound. Of course, western bands like Evanescence , Black Sabbath and Metallica influenced their sound. While the band describes their style as screamo - pop , you can find many different styles in their music such as heavy metal , alternative metal , thrash metal , grunge and electro-rock . In the Japanese alternative scene, Dazzle Vision had a great influence with their mixture of clear and screaming vocals and their both hard and soft riffs , coupled with electronic elements.
