Kiyoharu is a prominent vocalist, songwriter and guitarist who is well-known for his parts in the bands 黒夢 (Kuroyume) and SADS.

Kiyoharu's musicial career started in the mid 1980's, as a vocalist for the independant bands SUS4 and ＧＡＲＮＥＴ. When GARNET folded in 1990, 黒夢 (Kuroyume) was born a year later. Their music style evolved and changed between the eight years they were together. In their early years, their style varied from goth rock, pop and rock with a New Romantic edge. Their music eventually evolved to a punk and rock style in the few years before their hiatus. In 1999, the band was officially suspended and Kiyoharu moved onto a new project.

SADS was formed in 1999 by Kiyoharu, after the suspension of Kuroyume. SADS also produced a punk rock sound similar to that of late-Kuroyume, but eventually moved onto more post-punk and glam rock inspired music. In 2003, SADS was suspended indefinitely when drummer Eiji Mitsuzono announced his departure from the band. In the same year, Kiyoharu began his solo career.

Kiyoharu's music took a turn from loud rock/punk songs to softer sounds while still remaining in the rock genre. He has released eight full length albums since 2004: poetry, MELLOW, 官能ブギー (Kannou BOOGIE), VINNYBEACH ～架空の海岸～ (~kakuu no kaigan~) and FOREVER LOVE. His sixth album, RHYTHMLESS & PERSPECTIVE, was released in the form of two mini-albums titled light～saw the light & shade～ and shade～saw the light & shade～. His most recent albums, both released in 2009, have been the Kuroyume cover album MEDLEY and the original album madrigal of decadence.

In 2008, Kiyoharu and HITOKI (bassist of Kuroyume) revived Kuroyume yet again for a final last concert which was held on January 29th 2009. The band officially dissolved on the same date.

As well as working as a musician, Kiyoharu manages a record label (started in 2003, with the formation of SADS) and works as a fashion designer. His blood type is A+ and his official website can be found here: http://www.kiyoharu.jp.

予感
清春 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

さあ陽が堕ちてゆくよ
だけど消えたりしない
遠い空は今日も
鮮やかなコバルト
今夜はきっと夢、願いを叶える
選ばせてくれたね
自由にさせてくれたね
今夜は君の影、狙いを定める

ただ煌きの時間が来て
四月の香りがして
語りかけたロミオに
九月と終わりが来て stay around

さあ、陽が差しているよ
永遠にそう、コバルト
今日から開く夢、笑って眠れる
また煌きの時間が来て
四月の予感がして
歌いかけたロミオに
九月と終わりが来て stay around
ただ煌きの時間が来て
四月の香りがして
語りかけたロミオに
ある美学の答えを見て stay around
煌きの時間が来て
四月の香りがして

歌いかけたロミオに
そう九月は stay around
