BLOOD STAIN CHILD was formed in 2000 by RYO (vocal, bass), RYU (guitar), DAIKI (guitar), AKI (keyboard), and VIOLATOR (drums). In August 2000, BLOOD STAIN CHILD recorded their first demo, which consisted of the songs "Silence Of Northern Hell", "Requiem", and "Legend Of Dark". The band sent that demo to a radio station and the DJ enjoyed the music so much that he recommended the band to the record label, M&I Company, who eventually signed BLOOD STAIN CHILD.
In 2001, BLOOD STAIN CHILD recorded two songs, "The World" and "Steel Flame". The first song was used as the theme song for professional wrestler, Kensuke Sasaki and the second song was used as the theme song for the 30th anniversary of NJPW, a professional wrestling group. In July 2002, BLOOD STAIN CHILD released their debut studio album, Silence Of Northern Hell. In October 2002, BLOOD STAIN CHILD was the supporting act for Dream Evil during their tour in Japan. In June 2003, BLOOD STAIN CHILD released their second studio album, Mystic Your Heart, which was co-produced by Anssi Kippo, a popular producer from Finland.
In March 2005, DAIKI left the band and was replaced by SHIROMASA in April. That same year, BLOOD STAIN CHILD released their third studio album, IDOLATOR, which takes a big leap towards mixing metal and electronica genres and which was co-produced by Tue Madsen, a popular producer from Denmark. In 2006, BLOOD STAIN CHILD signed with Dockyard 1 and released Idolator in Europe on November 27, 2006. IDOLATOR was later released in the United States through Locomotive Records on July 17, 2007.
In April 2007, BLOOD STAIN CHILD announced the addition of a new vocalist, SADEW, and a new guitarist, G.S.R. In July 18, 2007, BLOOD STAIN CHILD released their fourth studio album, MOZAIQ, in Japan, which was also co-produced by Tue Madsen. It was then released in Europe on July 20, 2007 with an exclusive bonus track "Cosmic Highway". The album introduced a more unique style and increased the use of electro elements (mainly trance) mixed with metal, creating their unique style of trance metal.
Since the release of MOZAIQ, the band has been performing live shows in Japan, Europe, and the U.S. The band is currently in the process of producing their next album. The track "ETERNAL ProtOTypE-D" was released as a demo on June 13, 2009.
On June 12, 2010, RYU announced on his official blog that SADEW withdrew from the band due to personal reasons. Drummer VIOLATOR left the band as well, in order to take care of family business. RYU stated that the band will announce its new line-up soon, and that the band will keep evolving and will continue to go strong and reach for new levels.
On July 21, 2012, SOPHIA officially announced that she is leaving BLOOD STAIN CHILD. New singer KiKi joined the band on December 3.
A notable feature of BLOOD STAIN CHILD is their tendency to incorporate both dance and trance related themes and elements into their music. The band's sound includes death vocals complemented at times by clean vocals.

Eternal
Blood Stain Child Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
New world and blue silence
Spread before me
All the possibilities are there
So far away eternal spring over Elysium
Even if your surroundings are the dark
I'm free and you are free
The blue sky spreads out infinitely
Eternal light
So far away eternal spring over Elysium
Even if your surroundings are the dark
Now rise and take my hand
As Lethe beckons, ending your torment
This sky accepts everything
Solitary love letters to an uncertain future,
Colored by a cosmic jokers sense of reason
Life is not without hope,
But each one of us is hopelessly human
You're just a shapeless human mass
Crawling blind in empty space
Confront yourself your darkened face
Beyond the clouds harmonic space towards infinity
I may die so that you may live
Arise and breathe again the sun in my eyes
Drying your rain away
Your heart shines surely sometimes
Spread your wings fly away
Blissful light dawning, calling....
Heaven in the sky
So far away eternal spring over Elysium
Even if your surroundings are the dark
Now rise and take my hand
As Lethe beckons, ending your torment
This sky accepts everything
Beyond the clouds harmonic space towards infinity
I may die so that you may live
Arise and breathe again the sun in my eyes
Drying your rain away
Your heart shines surely sometimes
The lyrics of Blood Stain Child's “Eternal” explore the idea of hope and eternal life in the face of darkness and uncertainty. The song starts with the idea of a new beginning, where the singer is looking down on a world of endless possibilities from above the clouds. The concept of Elysium, which is Greek mythology's version of heaven, is invoked to refer to a distant and perfect world where everything is beautiful and tranquil, represented by the eternal spring that is so far away, while the human world is dark, hence "Even if your surroundings are the dark".
The singer addresses the listener, or perhaps a loved one, and offers a helping hand to rise beyond the pain and torment they are feeling, while the Lethe, a river in Greek mythology that symbolizes forgetfulness, beckons for them to let go of their sorrows. The lines "I may die so that you may live, Arise and breathe again the sun in my eyes, Drying your rain away, Your heart shines surely sometimes" could be interpreted as an offering of self-sacrifice, in exchange for a new beginning, encouraging the listener to keep hope alive.
The song's chorus emphasizes the idea that the vastness of the universe and how it spreads infinitely is a reminder that everything is connected, and that the sky has the ability to accept, understand, and forgive everything.
