1. D is a Japanese visual kei band formed in March 2003 by vocalist ASAGI (ex-Balsamic, JE*REVIENS, Ｓｙｎｄｒｏｍｅ), guitarist Ruiza (ex-Distray, LAYBIAL, Ｓｙｎｄｒｏｍｅ, ) and guitarist SIN (ex-WITH SEXY, Vasalla), former members of Syndrome. They were joined by bassist レナ (Rena) (ex-PERSONA) and drummer HIROKI (ex-Aioria, S to M). SIN left the band early on in 2003 and was replaced by HIDE-ZOU (ex-Clair de Lune, As'REAL, S to M) who had been support during the band's brief time under the name Night of the children. In 2005, レナ (Rena) also left the band and was replaced by Tsunehito (ex-ギブス (Givuss), SCISSOR) on bass. D was on their own independent label GOD CHILD RECORDS until in 2008 when they signed with major label Avex Trax. In June 2011 they ended their contract with Avex and their management to return to their own label once again. The band publishes a magazine called Mad tea party MAGAZINE and had a radio show Night Radio “D”, as well as their own TV program called 薔薇の館 (Bara no Yakata). During the band's time together, Ruiza has released a solo mini-album titled Amenity Gain and ASAGI has released a solo single called Corvinus. ASAGI is the owner of D's label GOD CHILD RECORDS as well as his own brand Rosen Kranz which currently produces the band's goods.

3. D provided vocals to the song World with me on the Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II video game soundtrack. Due to inconsistencies in the Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II and Phantasy Star Online Episode III C.A.R.D. Revolution soundtracks booklets (D being only credited in the latter one), D is believed to be the same person as LOREN, who performed the opening and ending songs to the first Phantasy Star Online game, but there is no reliable source to confirm or deny such information.
Yami no Kuni no Alice

手を繋いだら 真実が解るから
逆さまの夢へと堕ちて 誰も救えはしない Deep sorrow
闇を分かつ体は 天を揺らぎ地を惑う
道なき道を泳ぎ 負が不を飲む 底なしに深く
I wanna take you away, Alice.
手を繋いだら 真実が解るから
Are you gonna believe in me? Alice.
君の望む場所ならば何処へでも さあ
誰の鍵も合いはしない 愛よりも逢いたくて Disappear
瓶詰めの不条理を 求める度に失った
招かれることのないわたしは 帰る場所もない
置き去りにされた過去から 僕は変わらずにここにいた
I wanna take you away, Alice.
抱き寄せたなら 時が今動き出す
Are you gonna believe in me? Alice.
光を浴びて笑えるさ 花のように そう
I wanna take you away, Alice.
手を繋いだら 真実が解るから
Are you gonna believe in me? Alice.
君の望む場所ならば何処へでも さあ

光を浴びて笑えるさ 汚れなき花のように そう
わたしの中の闇か
闇の中のわたしか
さあ 夢見る夢の新しい扉を開けよう
The song "Yami no Kuni no Alice" by D is about the desire to take the listener, referred to as "Alice", away from the darkness and confusion of their current state. The lyrics speak of chasing illusions and feeling lost, but also hold a promise that by taking hands with the singer, Alice will discover the truth. There is also a sense of yearning for connection and a place to belong, as the singer describes feeling left behind and having no home to return to.
The imagery of Alice in Wonderland is used throughout the song, with the idea of falling into an upside-down dream and searching for an elusive key. The idea of a new door opening suggests a sense of hope and possibility for a better future, and the repeated question of "Are you gonna believe in me?" expresses a desire for trust and partnership in this journey. Overall, the song seems to be a message of comfort and encouragement for anyone struggling with darkness and confusion.
