DaizyStripper

DaizyStripper is a five member Japanese pop-rock band in the visual-kei scene. The group was founded in March of 2007 with the line-up of: Yugiri (ex-Altema) on vocals, Mayu (ex-Clavier) on guitar, Nao (ex-TRiCK) on guitar, Rei (ex-Clavier) on bass, and Kazami (ex-Clavier) on drums. They would spend three months writing songs and rehearsing, and on June 5th the band had their demonstration live at Takadanobaba AREA. That live was the 10th anniversary of the live house and was titled "HYSTERIC MEDIA ZONE".

DaizyStripper has an alter-ego band with a different sound called Frantic EMIRY; the members adopt different names and visuals. Frantic EMIRY released their debut single "World End" on March 3rd, 2010 alongside DaizyStripper's fifth single "Harumeku Bokura".

BLESS is the third studio album released by DaizyStripper on June 29, 2011. It was released two months shy of a full year after their simultaneous debut studio albums BIRTH and LOVE, and a few weeks after their sixth single "KISS YOU" (which is not included in the album tracklist). This was released in three different versions: two CD+DVD editions (A & B) and a CD only edition (C). Type A contains a DVD featuring the music video for "KISS YOU" along with a different version of it, while Type B contains the "KISS YOU" music video along with its off shot footage.
