Have you heard of Chisa from DIV/ACME?
If not, well consider this your deep DIV(E)
(that is the dumbest pun I could have made)
Anyways! Who is DIV or ACME?
Two bands Chisa is trying to run at the same time because he's a dork who's probably handling too much lmao
He's the singer of both and both bands are active, visual kei, oshare kei, and then what ever else the dorks feel like writing that day
Their music doesn't really fit in a box because Chisa has done everything from screamo to metal to EDM to jazz to jazz with screamo to rock to piano love songs
Both bands, the music is wildly all over the place because they believe in having fun with music and making music with no barriers or boxes
But why should you listen to them?
They probably have something you'd enjoy seeing as there's over 300 songs to explore and that's just counting the stuff Chisa wrote or worked on
There's many more songs from the guys and then another band called NEXX which Chisa also sang in
But who are these guys?
DIV - Chisa (Vo) Shogo (Gt) Chobi (Bs) Satoshi (Dr)
ACME - Chisa (Vo) Shogo (Gt) Rikito (Bs) Hal (Dr)
Why are there two bands? Cause DIV had some infighting that got bad and they broke up, Chisa was devastated and immediately worked to make another band so the fans wouldn't be "homeless" he cares a lot about the fans, always writing them love songs and even once said
"I want to be the husband to everyone who has depression or anxiety"
about 8 years passed and suddenly Chobi wanted to try the band again and work stuff out as did Satoshi, so after some time and Chisa demanding their honesty, they agreed to run both bands,
What's the difference between them?
DIV is more emotional therapy - pop esk or hyper power metal and more romantic at times and more created for their Japanese fans but there's plenty western and other fans would enjoy
ACME is more for the Western audience and "bad boys who want to save the world" was once a way they used to explain themselves
Really it's just Chisa being his adorkable self, he genuinely cares about those with depression, PTSD, anxiety, panic disorders and so on and wants to hoard every individual that needs comfort and safety
Because he also understands people as he has a lot of mental illness he's very vocal about and there's plenty of people who have translated his songs or he's lately been adding english lyrics to his songs or singing in English a lot
At the end of the day, his "image" is always bouncing between wanting to be everyone's husband, prince, teddy bear and emotional support companion
I've been following this dork for over 12 years and it's only gotten more silly, ridiculous and adorable
So no matter what band you enjoy or what songs you listen to, I hope Chisa can bring you a happiness like he does to thousands of others
Some song recommendations -
DIV - never divided, just dive - justice - taste of life - Natsu no yukue - golden kinema gekijou - butterfly dreamer - ikenai kiss - seasons
ACME - I come back to you - Rotten Orange - senkou - party metal Anthem - sennou (flash warning) -zesshou ouka - enchanted - Gift - kagaribi
If not, well consider this your deep DIV(E)
