The current members are Masatoshi "Sho" Ono (vocals), Syu (guitar), Taka who replaced Yu-To in 2009 (bass), YUHKI (keyboard) and JUNICHI (drums.) Veterans of the heavy metal scene, they set to work assembling a band. Syu, known as guitarist for the indie heavy metal bands Valkyr, Animetal and SPINALCORD, where he also served as lead vocalist, and vocalist YAMA-B, who worked with bands Gunbridge and Rekion, originally were joined by keyboardist A (of Valkyr) and drummer Toshihiro Yui (Formerly of Honey Quest and Cemetary.) They soon were to recruit keyboardist Yuhki, of Ark Storm, and drummer Junichi Satoh. After Tsui left in 2006, they recruited yu-to of DELUHI. They were signed to VAP Records. Syu writes music for the band and contributed his deep, roaring vocals, while lead vocalist Yama-B contributes the songwriting, with lyrics and song titles in English. Galneryus has a dress style that borders on the style of visual kei, with medievally styled and leather dress, toting instruments with coloration to match,although recently they have set for a more casual style.
Galneryus' first album was the Rock opera styled Flag of Punishment. Through a few loosely tied songs, this album seems to tell the story of a revolution to gain freedom, and its victories and losses. The second album, Advance to the Fall seems to be more of a straightforward album, which doesn't tell a specific story, but rather tells a collection of smaller stories for the sake of standalone pieces. Cover art for both albums is that of Yoshitaka Amano, artist for the Final Fantasy series of video games.
In 2008, Vocalist YAMA-B left the band due to creative differences. Masatoshi Ono has been announced as the replacement.
Other former temporary members are Yoshinori Kataoka (keyboards), Yusuke (bass)

Galneryus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
生き抜く戦いへ
But I keep the faith of your life
迷わず踏み出せ
この身に宿した激情を
時代の流れに解き放て
拳に託した熱情を
果てない日々に
心 霞んでも
紡いだ糸が
明日を繋ぎ止めてく
感じた愛も悲しみも
立ち上がる強さへと
変えるさ
Give me your life
生き抜く戦いへ
But I keep the faith of your life
迷わず踏み出せ
激しく滾る血潮が今
運命を動かす
この身に息衝く宿命が
導く答えは何処にある？
闘う者だけが行き着く
この世の終焉か？
競り合う拳
心 悟っても
巡り合った時
別れは始まってる
流した涙 痛哭も
奔り出す勇気へと
変えるさ
Give me your life
己の戦いへ
But I keep the faith of your life
信じて踏み出せ
高鳴り燃える血潮が今
漢を動かす
胸に薔薇を咲かせ
Go along!
Give you my life
愛する者達へ
But I keep the faith of your life
この義を貫け
静寂 安らぎ 砕けても
守るものがある
I do not fear it forever
Just now give me your life
生き抜く戦いへ
But I keep the faith of your life
迷わず踏み出せ
激しく滾る血潮が今
運命を動かす
Give me your life
己の戦いへ
But I keep the faith of your life
信じて踏み出せ
高鳴り燃える血潮が今
漢を動かす
胸を薔薇で満たし
Go along!
The lyrics of Galneryus’s song “Kizuna” (“Bonds” in English) talk about the struggles of life and the importance of holding onto one’s faith and determination in the face of adversity. The singer urges his listeners to give him their lives and to step forward confidently into the battle of life, even when they feel lost or uncertain. He is convinced that the passion we carry within us can change the world and that our destinies are shaped by our decisions and actions.
The lyrics also express a sense of unity and brotherhood, as the singer encourages his friends and fellow fighters to share their passions and to speak their minds without fear. He recognizes the pain and sadness that we all experience, but reminds us that every tear shed and moment of grief can be turned into a source of strength and courage. The song’s overall message is one of resilience and hope, and that it is through our bonds with each other that we can overcome any obstacle.

小野雅俊でびっくりした(･д･)
昔はカッコからしてr＆bに影響うけてたみたいな感じだったけど、このバンドギターは前から知ってたけどヴォーカルがあの小野雅俊だったとわ(^｡^;)
しかも前より若返ったと言うかイケメンやんか(^｡^;)
@CharlieTheSupersaurus
This is proof that you don't need to understand a word of a foreign language to appreciate such bloody amazing music. I don't understand Japanese at all but I can't stop listening to Galneryus. Excellent work as always. Galneryus rules! Thanks for the awesome music, all of you.
