One of UNDER CODE PRODUCTION's newest additions, formed in January 2008, even before Sui and Misery left their old band. Megaromania consists of ex-members of bands such as Metis Gretel, 焔, STELLA... and 般 若 (hAN-NyA).
They signed a contract with the Under Code Production label quite soon after they formed and, up to now, have released 11 Maxi-singles, 2 mini-albums , 2 full-length albums, 3 collection album, 7 live-distributed singles, and 8 promotional videos ("God of Megaromania-純血ノ刻印-," "Apocalypse," "AURORA-destinies of world-," and "Quintessence Voyage," "Cynthia," "Propaganda," "Heaven's Novel," respectively).
Their concept is titled "Creativity aesthetics", their sound is reminiscent of Metis Gretel to an certain extent. Their style is a more modernized style of kotekote kei than Metis Gretel was, although it appears that they are gradually moving towards a more metallic direction since the release of "Oblivious." In March of 2010, the band's drummer, Leda, left the band due to musical differences. AURORA-destinies of world- was the first release from Megaromania without Leda. For this single, as well as for live support, the band borrowed E'm～Grief～'s drummer Maiyu. Start with the single Oath-Cross of Eternity-, the band recruited a new drummer, Yushi. Since his addition to the band, Megaromania has been putting out material at a slightly faster rate as well as started to appear higher on visual indies sales charts.
The band split in the summer of 2013 presumably due to UNDER CODE PRODUCTION going out of business. After nearly a year of no activity aside from a few session bands and a Metis Gretel revival show, it was announced that Sui, Misery (who changed his name to 'MIZALY'), and Yushi would be 3 of the 4 new members in the second period of 凛 -the end of corruption world-, the band of former UNDER CODE president Kisaki.

Megaromania Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
もう全て光は奪われ 色を無くした
なぜ誰も目を背けるのか？この世界に
もう心さえ錆び付いた非情な種族達よ
This world hates and is painful
It seeks succor to the heaven and the god.
この手のカードだけを信じて迷えば…天よ答えを
救いを求めたら
空を仰げば伝う
生きる意味の啓示が
目に映る壁を乗り越えて
道標を導け
降り注ぐメロディーが
光を生む魔法に変わる
今世界を変えられるなら唄う
今、かりそめの陽が照らした夢の欠片よ…
闇に浚われて
でも、信じられるもの一つ…この胸に秘め
未来で目覚めるよう…眠ろう
流れる時間の狭間で
この手のカードだけを信じて迷えば…天よ答えを
救いを求めたら
空を仰げば伝う
生きる意味の啓示が
現実を過去に葬って
今未来の鍵を手に
降り注ぐメロディーが
光を生む魔法に変わる
今使命を気付かせてくれた空へ願おう
The lyrics of "APOCALYPSE" by Megaromania express a bleak view of the world, where the sky is closed and mocks those who are awakened. The light has been taken away, and colors have been lost. The singer questions why everyone turns a blind eye to the state of the world, where the hearts of the people have rusted, and they have become a heartless race.
The song encourages the listener to reach out for help, to believe in the cards they hold, and to seek solace from heaven and god. The lyrics suggest that by seeking salvation, we may find the path that leads to the revelation of the meaning of life. The melody that accompanies the lyrics has the power to create light and transform the world.
The song depicts a world in turmoil, where hope may seem distant and fleeting, and dreams may be shattered by the darkness that engulfs them. However, the singer entrusts the future to what can be believed and kept in one's heart, and they urge the listeners to sleep, hoping to awaken in a brighter future, where the melody and the magic of the music will create a better world.

@2rachelallison7355
I love there songs so much. Is sad that the are no longer together.
@elysiaherscherrofhuman2508
If a single song from over 10 years ago can instantly make me interested in a genre like rock/metal which I was totally opposed to before, you know that song and band is special. Kinda sad to find out theyve disbanded but ig it would’ve been insane for them to still be together after almost 15 years.
@gensou777
their vocalist is still active in his solo project called David, you should check it out, and his other recent band CULA! He and the guitarist from this band also collaborate in the project Enishi occasionally.
