Information

Λucifer was put together for the Kaikan Phrase anime to promote it. The anime was based on the popular shoujo manga by Shinjo Mayu. The band members of real life Λucifer changed their names to match with their anime/manga counterparts, with the exception of vocalist Makoto, who kept his name instead of changing it to that of the main character Sakuya. Several of Λucifer's songs were used in the anime, along with songs of other Japanese rock bands like GLAY, Feel, e.MU and Transtic Nerve. However, the band decided to go on even after the anime had ended, and continued to release more music afterwards.

Then finally on 25 October 2002, over two and a half years after the anime had ended, they announced that they were breaking up. Following the announcement, they did their last tour entitled "Λucifer Last Live 2002-2003 Energy" from 16 December 2002 to 10 January 2003, which included 9 shows. After that, they appeared for the last time on a TV music show, PopJam, on 11 January and then did their very last show (which was also their first show done abroad) at the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand on 19 January.

At first, on the first album, the music was written by Asanuma Takuya (JUDY AND MARY), Chisato (Penicillin) and IPPEI & TAIZO (FEEL) but after that, the members of the band progressively started writing more. While BEATRIP only featured one song from Atsuro and one from Santa and the rest were by Takuya and Chisato, by the third album, nearly all the music was composed solely by members of the band, save for one song by Takuya, and two of the songs Makoto did as a collaboration with MASAKI. The lyrics on the first two albums were all written by Mori Yukinojo (with the exception of one song on BEATRIP when Makoto wrote them). On the third album, only the lyrics to the song by Takuya were made by Mori with the rest being done by the band.

After the break-up of the band:

Atsuro and Towa have also done songwriting and arranging for various artists.
