Soan, best known as the drummer of the now disbanded Moran, has started a new project called Soan Project. At first glance, we thought it was just a session band, but it has grown into something serious. The project involves two vocalists, Akuta from Chanty and Temari from Amber Gris, plus other well-known musicians from the visual kei scene. It is something similar to Kisaki’s project, which featured Jui from Vidoll or Satsuki from Rentrer en Soi on vocals.
So far, they have two mini-albums in store. Both Akuta and Temari have been in charge of the lyrics in their respective collaborations while Soan composed all the music.
His first mini-album titled Doukoku wo Kodou to Shite Michi to suru Oto (静謐を制し征する音) has been on sale since January 18. It features Akuta (芥) from Chanty on vocals; Shun, former DuelJewel guitarist, and Ivy from Lack-co on bass.
The second mini-album has been out since February 1, carrying the title Seihitsu wo Seishi Seisuru Mono (静謐を制し征する音). For this recording, Soan counts with vocalist Temari (手鞠) from the now disbanded Amber Gris, Taizo from Kra on guitar, Yuuya (祐弥) from DuelJewel on chorus, and Sachi from Kokusyoku Sumire (黒色すみれ) on violin.
