~Who is SHAZNA?
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.
