History


Their first maxi-single was on the Office A to Z label.[1] "Alkaloid Showcase" was released on May 4, 2007, the same day as their first concert; it sold out before the concert began.[1]

In late 2007, guitarist Mika and female keyboardist Karen left the band;[1] they were replaced by guitarist Anzi (ex-Masterpiece) and male keyboardist Ayame (ex-Ry:dia) respectively.

In 2008, after joining Kamijo's record label Sherow Artist Society, the single "Ruri Iro de Egaku Niji" reached number 11 on the Oricon Indies Chart; the EP Gilia reached number 7 and was also released in Europe.[2][3] Matenrou Opera toured through Europe with Versailles from the end of March to the beginning of April 2008.[4]

In late 2009, Matenrou Opera shared a national tour of Japan with Deluhi.[5] Matenrou Opera covered X Japan's song "Kurenai" for the compilation Crush! -90's V-Rock Best Hit Cover Songs-. The album was released on January 26, 2011 and features current visual kei bands covering songs from bands that were important to the '90s visual kei movement.[6] Matenrou Opera also covered hide's song "Dice" for the tribute album Tribute II -Visual Spirits-, released on July 3, 2013. Then, they released Avalon on September 3, 2014.

On May 15, 2016, guitarist Anzi announced that he would leave Matenrou Opera after eight years with the band. His final concert with the band was held in July of the same year in Tokyo, at Tsutaya O-East.[7] Matenrou Opera continued performing with a support guitarist until it was announced in May of 2018 that Jay, the former guitarist of the Japanese rock band Light Bringer, would be their new permanent guitarist.[8]

These are not the only albums released by the band. They released Chikyuu on January 20, 2016. Then, on October 19, 2016, they also released Phoenix Rising. They officially released Pantheon -Part 1- on April 12, 2017. Additionally, they released both 摩天楼オペラ 〜BEST & CLIPS〜 and 摩天楼オペラ 〜BEST & REQUEST〜 on October 19, 2016 for a limited time.
