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)

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ki mottekete mo
Ano basho ni ikanakatta to shitanda
Kimi no tsuita uso ga
Sugisatte mo
Okizari ni sareta kioku ni naru
(I wanna feel your heart)
Wasuretai wake demo nai
(I can't forget you)
Itsu mo soba ni atta egao
Sore dake kanjitai
When I walk along without you
I wish you were by my side
Itsu made mo soba ni itte
Kimi wo terashiteru mugen no hikari
Ima mo kagayaiteru yo
Someday time will tell you where you should go
Future never dies
Subete ga atta kono basho de
Namida dake ga
Kawakazu ni nagare tsuzuketetara
Kimi wa nani omoi no wo
Hitori ni natte shimatte mo
Asu wa yatte kuru
Kanawanai n janai
(I wanna know the truth)
Mitometai wake demo nai

That keyboard solo is just phenomenal
Kleber Fainer
Yuhki is also phenomenal! It's funny how people talk so much and mostly only about guitar, but keyboard is a fundamental piece on Galneryus music, keyboard in Metal bands are always kept aside, sadly... I'm a keyboardist... "/
paulo dizon
@Rizki Mardian his name is Yukki Yukkinen
Rizki Mardian
