Vo. IZAM,… Read Full Bio ↴SHAZNA is a well-established band consisting of three members.
Vo. IZAM, Gu. AOI, Ba. NIY.
SHAZNA was formed by IZAM in 1992 when he recruited the original bassist to start a Culture Club tribute band. That bassist was later replaced by his older brother, NIY. In 1993, AOI and former member Katsura joined the band and they released their first demo ENMITY.
In 1996, after releasing two well-received mini-albums (MELTY CASE and Raspberry Time) Katsura left SHAZNA to join the visual kei band, BAISER. Thus SHAZNA became the trio that we know today.
In June of 1997 they released their first video collection, Lavender Color, which reached No. 1 on the Oricon charts. Later that same year SHAZNA signed to major label BMG FUNHOUSE and released their first major mini-album, Promise Eve.
1998 was truly the "Year of SHAZNA". They released their immensely popular album Gold Sun and Silver Moon and held a four performance tour titled "MOONLIGHT DREAM" A Midsummer Night's Dream, the most notable live being held at the famous Nippon Budokan. Their faces and music graced everything from magazine covers to commercials to television dramas.
In 1999, with a slew of releases (now under TOSHIBA EMI) that had a decidedly different look and sound than SHAZNA fans were used to and expected from their idols, their popularity took a nosedive. Their fanbase and popularity further decreased with the scandal of IZAM's brief marriage to then 19-year-old model, Hinano Yoshikawa.
SHAZNA officially disbanded in 2000 with each member pursuing solo careers.
~Solo SHAZNA
IZAM has had perhaps the most active and successful solo career, appearing in a number of movies and television shows as well as in a musical, modeling, and releasing two albums, two singles, and a book - "Mirror Boy". In November of 2006 IZAM was married for the second time to actress Miho Yoshioka and on April 17, 2007 he became the father of a healthy baby boy.
AOI has continued with his musical career, playing solo acoustic lives as well as contributing guitar to IZAM's solo releases. He also formed his own band, RAG DOLL. On January 3, 2008 AOI married actress Akira Morimoto after a year-and-a-half relationship. His first child, a daughter, was born on June 6, 2008.
NIY has also contributed his bass skills to IZAM's solo releases aside from his activities with his own band, FANBLE.
~SHAZNA Reborn!
In 2006 SHAZNA announced that they were reuniting and resuming activities. Their first live back together at Tokyo Shibuya duo MUSIC EXCHANGE on September 5, 2007 was a sold out, standing room only success. They released their first new single in seven years in April, 2007 entitled Kokoro 1/2. It was followed by the release of the album 10th Melty Life on August 8, 2007, the 10th anniversary of the release of Melty Love.
Since then they have played a few scattered lives while fans anxiously await their next release.
~Side Project
In November of 2007 IZAM and AOI formed a side band, donning red sweat suits and calling themselves Alcali-5. On Valentine's Day 2008 they released a mini-album, ALCALIST, and continue to perform periodic lives.

いつも いつも 夢みてた…
明日は 何かが変わる umそんな予感がしてる
ステキな お気に入りのね 想い出連れて駆けだそう
蜃気楼の中で 待つあなたの所まで
色づきはじめてる 街を横目にいそぐ…
走り出す恋に ゆられて風を感じた
出逢って突然 盗まれたこのHeartがトキメク
いつも人の気持ちを 何度もためしたボクが
灰色の夜明けに 君を探し求めた
愛されてみたくて 自分に嘘もついた…
愛しはじめてる あなたの声に魅せられて
どれだけあなたに 伝えたらこの想いは届くの？
走り出すバスに ゆられて風を感じた
出逢って突然 盗まれたこのHeartがトキメク

My childhood memories! This song was the theme of kamikaze kaitou jeanne plus, this clip is awesome nowadays so far; what we see is only bodies. Still, here you can easily see the elements of fantasy, which is so colorful.
As time goes, quality reduces, and unfortunately, there are no awesome clips like this.

最近またシャズナを聴くようになった
学生のころ聞いてた記憶がよみがえってくる

Agreed! Aoi's solos aren't virtuoso by any means, but extremely tasteful, melodic and memorable. I restart the solo myself. Great guitar sound with tons of echo. You gotta love it.

Those guitar solos leave me wanting more!!!

Love is Alive/Dear LOVE以降はなんか今一つパッとしない曲が続いてたところだったのが、この曲がリリースされて再び上昇気流にのる感じがして嬉しかったなぁ。

定期的に無性に聴きたくなります。大サビのうさぎさんのキャピキャピが可愛い、でもIZAMUも可愛い、ギターソロ大好き、愛が止まらない、神風怪盗ジャンヌ素晴らしきかな！
