The band came into being when vocalist Kiyoharu (清春) from the band ＧＡＲＮＥＴ and guitarist Shin (臣) from GERACEE decided to collaborate. Kiyoharu then invited Hitoki (人時), the bassist from Garnet, to join. The band's concept was based upon the idea of "yume wa nai" (dreams don't exist).
Kuroyume started their career as one of the pioneers of the visual rock scene. Next to artists such as LUNA SEA or the early works of L'Arc～en～Ciel, Kuroyume was one of the most influential, and to this day many artists have tried to replicate the sound of their early era. Albums during this era included "生きていた中絶児" (Ikiteita Chuzetsuji, 1992), "亡骸を…" (Nakigara o... , 1993), and "迷える百合達" (Mayoeru Yuritachi, 1994).
After Shin left the group, Kiyoharu and Hitoki continued as a duo. The first Kuroyume album without Shin was "feminism" (1995). The album took the band into more pop territory than they had ever been before. The album featured hit songs such as "優しい悲劇" (Yasashii Higeki) and "Miss MOONLIGHT." The follow-up to "feminism" was "FAKE STAR" (1996). "FAKE STAR" still featured slick production to appeal to the pop crowd and also featured more songs with a punk edge. Also, it is important to say that Hitoki played guitar on most of the band songs after Shin left.
The influence of punk rock on Kuroyume would continue with their next release, "DRUG TREATMENT" (1997). While having hit songs such as "NITE & DAY" and "Spray," the album also contained what would be their most punk-influenced works to date. The album is also home to one of the most famous songs Kuroyume has ever done, "Like A Angel." Later that year a live album at Shinjuku LOFT was released, and to this day remains to be one of the best examples of Kuroyume's amazing power while playing live. In 1998, Kuroyume would release one last proper album, "CORKSCREW." It was the most abrasive, loud, and fast album they had ever done. While the album was still fun, the simplicity of the writing began to show. The band would break up the following year.
Immediately following the break up, Kiyoharu formed the band SADS. That band's original run lasted until 2003, and from 2004 onward Kiyoharu was active as a solo artist.
Unlike Kiyoharu, HITOKI returned to the indie scene. Along with keeping busy with projects such as HITOKI-PIRANHAHEADS, SSS, SUPER DROP BABIES, and Dummy's Corporation, Hitoki also served as a session/support musician for many bands and artists, including AKI, IZAM, ROBOTS, Creature Creature, 大塚愛, and Hysteric Blue.
On January 29th, 2009, Kiyoharu and Hitoki reunited for Kuroyume's "the end" ～CORKSCREW A GO GO! FINAL～ on the 10 year anniversary of their last live. The one-night event was supposed to serve as the official end of Kuroyume. However, the following year, Kiyoharu announced the band's reformation.

The song "13 new ache" by 黒夢 exudes a sense of confusion and chaos through its rapid-fire, disjointed lyrics. The lines "白くを解体 緩んでいる / 混乱/混沌 Look out, look up" describe a feeling of disintegration or decay, while the mention of "hallucinations" and "crosspollination" suggests a merging of different realities or emotions. The repeated refrain of "13 new ache" emphasizes a sense of pain or discomfort that is both personal ("In my eyes, In my life") and universal ("In your eyes, In your life").
The lyrics also contain a number of references to pleasure and sensation, with lines like "獰悪と快楽" ("perversion and pleasure") and "執着と嗅覚" ("obsession and sense of smell"). These themes are intertwined with darker elements like murder ("MURDER'S ANSWER") and decay. The overall effect is a dizzying mix of pleasure and pain, beauty and ugliness, with the repeated refrain of "Junk it" implying a desire to break free from these confusing and contradictory emotions.
Overall, "13 new ache" is a deeply introspective and emotionally charged song that reflects the intense, boundary-pushing music of 黒夢.
