Merry J-rock Band

MERRY is a Japanese rock band and former angura kei band, with influences from jazz, blues and punk rock.

The band’s music and lyrical imagery are likely influenced by the liberal Taisho and early Showa era, a period of significant artistic and musical movement when Japan shifted further towards Western concepts, and industrialization brought jazz and blues to Japanese culture. Similarly, MERRY fuse the these genres with rock music to create a “modern avant-garde” sound, or “modern-garde” as their second album is named. Along with cali≠gari, MERRY are also noted for their early “eroguro” (erotic, grotesque) themes.

MERRY was formed in Tokyo, Japan by Gara ( vocals), Yuu ( guitar), Kenichi (guitar), Tetsu (bass) and Nero ( drums) in October 2001. Their aggressive performances and melancholic sounds got everyone’s interest.

Divya Suvarna, a random maniac, loves drawing, painting, designing and appreciating art in all forms. She is an avid music listener, so much that her headphones are often mistaken for her ears.

When she is not working, she is thinking about her own well being and her cats. She has spent over 10 years learning about nutrition by trial and error on her own self. She loves learning about the history of food, understanding food at its core and having scientific reasoning to debunk food myths. She spends the rest of her day imagining recipes and building nutritious meals for herself.
