GA TO CHOU Welcome Nao and Lanju as New Members

GA TO CHOU (蛾と蝶), the Visual Kei collective known for their theatrical aesthetics and dynamic sound, have strengthened their lineup with two significant additions to their ranks.

Vocalist Nao (奈羽), previously with Hueye, and bassist Lanju (藍珠), who brings experience from both GRIEVA (グリーヴァ) and gulu gulu, have officially joined the band. This marks an exciting new chapter for the group as they bring fresh energy and established credentials to an already compelling roster.

For those unfamiliar with GA TO CHOU, the band has carved out a distinctive niche in the Visual Kei scene with their atmospheric approach to the genre. The name itself—translating to “moth and butterfly”—reflects their fascination with transformation and duality, themes that permeate both their visual presentation and musical composition. With a lineup that now includes Zero and Kaede alongside returning member Hirotaka, the band is positioned to explore even more ambitious creative territory.

Nao’s addition as vocalist is particularly noteworthy; their previous work with Hueye demonstrated a vocal range capable of both delicate vulnerability and commanding presence—exactly the kind of versatility that Visual Kei’s genre-blending nature demands. Lanju’s bass foundation, honed through both GRIEVA’s darker aesthetic and gulu gulu’s experimental approach, adds another layer of complexity to what listeners can expect moving forward.

The timing of these additions suggests the band is gearing up for new material and live performances. The chemistry between fresh members and established collaborators often yields some of the most compelling work in Visual Kei, and GA TO CHOU’s willingness to evolve their lineup signals serious artistic ambition.
