Megamasso (メガマソ Megamaso) is a Japanese visual kei rock band. Their sound is lively and upbeat, with a unique mix of punk, piano ballads and pop rock.
Formerly signed to NXSIE Records, they are now connected to Avex Group's HPQ label. Since the release of "SWAN SONG", they have switched their label to Timely Records.
Megamasso was formed by Ryōhei, ex-guitarist of Ayabie. He recruited members relatively new to music to produce a fresh, new sound. Their first mini-album, Namida Neko, released on December 6, was distributed through LIKE AN EDISON shops in Osaka, Tokyo, and Nagoya.
On December 16, Megamasso held their first show at Shibuya O-East, which was then filmed and released on DVD Mega-star Tokyo. This concert included unreleased songs which would be available on their second mini-album, Kai no Mokutō no Zokuryō, released January 24. Yūta decided to leave the band on June 9 because he was not interested in their current musical style.
Megamasso covered hide with Spread Beaver's "Rocket Dive" on the compilation Crush! 2 -90's V-Rock Best Hit Cover Songs-. The album was released on November 23, 2011 and features current visual kei bands covering songs from bands that were important to the '90s visual kei movement.
After 11 years together, visual kei band Megamasso will disband on November 23rd, 2017.
*The lyrics of "地ベタ四ツン這イ太郎 (Jibeta yotsunbai tarou)" will have slight differences in different types.
Ryōhei is producing for the band Watashime Slug (ワタシメスラッグ Watashimesuraggu), which has members Leo (レオ Reo), a former support guitarist for Megamasso, and Soshi (総史), a vocalist. Their debut album, Jūryoku, was released on August 22, 2007 and distributed through Like an Edison shops in Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, and Harajuku.
