| + | '''PENICILLIN''' is [[J-Rock|Japanese rock]] [[Visual-Kei|visual-kei]] band that formed On February 14th 1992. For the first couple of years the members changed a bit, and after the release of "[[Penicillin Shock]]" PENICILLIN stabilized with the departure of [[taisuke|SHAISUKE]]. That was until 2007, when bassist [[GISHO]] announced that he would leave the band. His last live was on May 20th at Shibuya O-EAST. PENICILLIN has also changed music labels every couple of years, and had alternating indies and major phases. They are currently a major band on [[CROWN DIAMOND RECORDS]], a sub-label of [[CROWN RECORDS]]. | ||

| − | + | PENICILLIN was formed in [[Kanagawa]], [[Japan]] by friends at Toukai University. The original line-up was [[GISHO]] on vocals, [[taisuke|SHIASUKE]] (ex-[[Blanche (band)|Blanche]]) and [[YUJI]] (ex-[[Deshabillz]]) on guitars, [[Chisato]] on bass, and [[O-JIRO]] on drums. About one year later [[HAKUEI]] joined, while YUJI left to join [[Blanche (band)|Blanche]]. The line-up then became HAKUEI on vocals, Chisato and SHAISUKE both on guitars, GISHO on bass, and O-JIRO on drums. After the release of their first mini-album "[[Penicillin Shock]]" on May 30th 1994, SHAISUKE left and then later joined [[Deshabillz]]. From 1994 to 2007, the band had a stable line-up. One month after celebrating their 15th anniversry, on March 9th, GISHO announced that he would be leaving PENICILLIN. His last live with the band was at Shibuya O-EAST on May 20th, his 36th birthday. | |

| − | + | PENICILLIN began in the [[Visual-Kei|visual-kei]] category, their dress being a little haphazard. HAKUEI and O-JIRO generally dressed the part of girls; HAKUEI normally dressing outrageous in fur and leather, while O-JIRO dressed as the "sweet girl". Chisato and GISHO generally dressed more masculine. Around 1998, the "image" PENICILLIN had created for themselves changed from being so feminine like before, losing the heavy makeup in the process (and in HAKUEI's case, outrageous, extravagant outfits). The band since has regained their visual-ness, but now it's a bit more refined. | |

PENICILLIN promoting "Cell" (2009)
PENICILLIN is Japanese rock visual-kei band that formed On February 14th 1992. For the first couple of years the members changed a bit, and after the release of "Penicillin Shock" PENICILLIN stabilized with the departure of SHAISUKE. That was until 2007, when bassist GISHO announced that he would leave the band. His last live was on May 20th at Shibuya O-EAST. PENICILLIN has also changed music labels every couple of years, and had alternating indies and major phases. They are currently a major band on CROWN DIAMOND RECORDS, a sub-label of CROWN RECORDS.

Information
PENICILLIN was formed in Kanagawa, Japan by friends at Toukai University. The original line-up was GISHO on vocals, SHIASUKE (ex-Blanche) and YUJI (ex-Deshabillz) on guitars, Chisato on bass, and O-JIRO on drums. About one year later HAKUEI joined, while YUJI left to join Blanche. The line-up then became HAKUEI on vocals, Chisato and SHAISUKE both on guitars, GISHO on bass, and O-JIRO on drums. After the release of their first mini-album "Penicillin Shock" on May 30th 1994, SHAISUKE left and then later joined Deshabillz. From 1994 to 2007, the band had a stable line-up. One month after celebrating their 15th anniversry, on March 9th, GISHO announced that he would be leaving PENICILLIN. His last live with the band was at Shibuya O-EAST on May 20th, his 36th birthday.
PENICILLIN began in the visual-kei category, their dress being a little haphazard. HAKUEI and O-JIRO generally dressed the part of girls; HAKUEI normally dressing outrageous in fur and leather, while O-JIRO dressed as the "sweet girl". Chisato and GISHO generally dressed more masculine. Around 1998, the "image" PENICILLIN had created for themselves changed from being so feminine like before, losing the heavy makeup in the process (and in HAKUEI's case, outrageous, extravagant outfits). The band since has regained their visual-ness, but now it's a bit more refined.
