Merry Go Round are an underground band from Japan, although they were around for more than 10 years and even had a semi-major deal. Being from Nagoya never led the band to the famous label Donuts Record West, where for example Lamiel, Vizell or Phobia were signed. In fact the music differs a lot from those typical Nagoya-kei bands. Their music is far less dark and instrumentally aggressive; and tends more to melancholic ballads, not forgetting to have some harder pieces, too. It’s more comparable to JILS/D=SIRE. Disbanded in 2004.
