MERRY

MERRY promoting "Yakou" (2010)
Left to Right: Kenichi, Tetsu, Yuu, Nero, Gara

MERRY (メリー) is a five member eroguro band under FREE-WILL that was formed by vocalist Gara (ex-After effect) and guitarist Yuu (ex-Shiver) in October of 2001. The group's appearance in terms of costume and make-up is usually dark with suits and smeared make-up, though they have cut down on the smeared make-up. Their style of music is very catchy ranging from hard rock to beautiful ballads, and from mix jazz to swing and rock n' roll.
