Unlike earlier bands, who played Western-style rock for hard-core fans, these groups had a more Japanized sound that ordinary kids could relate to. Also, taking a hint from New Music queen YUMINC, who mounted spectacular stage shows.."</ref> The members of the group are Template:Nihongo, Template:Nihongo Template:Nihongo and Template:Nihongo.
