Biography[edit]
Ling tosite Sigure was formed in 2002 in Saitama, Japan. TK (vocals, guitar) and 345 (vocals, bass) started first with NodaMEN (drums) then Pierre Nakano (drums) joined shortly, replacing Noda.[7][8] The band released several demos before starting their own label, Nakano Records, and releasing their debut album #4. Their second album Inspiration is DEAD was released in 2007 following an EP Feeling Your UFO the previous year, giving the band increased popularity and exposure throughout Japan. They appeared in the Countdown music festival in 2007 and continued to tour on a regular basis.[2]
In April 2008, the band released their first single 'Telecastic fake show', which charted in the Oricon Top 20.[9] In July they participated in the Fuji Rock Festival and in August the Rising Sun Rock Festival. In December 2008, Ling tosite Sigure released the single 'moment A rhythm', after signing to major label Sony Music. The single included an art book consisting of Kitajima's photography.[10]
Their third album, Just a Moment, was released on May 15, 2009, from which 'JPOP Xfile' was featured on Space Shower TV.[8] In August they performed at the Summer Sonic Festival and toured throughout Japan. In 2010, the band performed a massive nationwide tour, 'I Was Music', culminating at the high-profile Saitama Super Arena venue in the band's home city. In May, they traveled to England and played their first international shows in London and Brighton before returning to the studio to record new material.[11][12]
The band released their fourth album Still a Sigure Virgin? on September 22, 2010. They went on their 'Virgin Killer' tour from late October to early December.[13] The first music video from the album, 'I Was Music', aired on September 14. In 2011, the band continued to tour as TK released a film and photo book and Nakano released an instructional drum DVD.
On November 14, 2012, they released single titled 'Abnormalize'. The title song was used for the opening of the anime series Psycho-Pass. The song was performed on Music Station.[14]
The band's 5th studio album I'mperfect was released on April 10, 2013. The band signed to specialized European record label JPU Records in June 2013 and released I'mperfect all across Europe.[15]
The band released the single 'Enigmatic Feeling' on November 5th 2014. The title song was used for the opening of the anime series Psycho-Pass 2.[16]
One month later (14 January 2015), the band released another single, 'Who What Who What', which, unlike their other singles, only contained one song. The title song was used for the anime movie Psycho-Pass: The Movie.[17] The song was performed on Music Station.
On 14 January 2015, the band released their first compilation album, entitled Best of Tornado, which featured remixed and remastered editions of their previous songs. There were 3 different releases of the album: the regular version, featuring one disc, the Tornado Edition which contains 2 discs; the second having 11 music videos, and the Hyper Tornado Edition which contains 3 discs, the third being several demo tapes and audio of their live performances.[18]
An EP titled Es or S was released on September 2, 2015. The limited edition featured a 7-inch LP, A-side playing 'SOSOS' and the B-side being 'Mirror Frustration'.[19]
On 23 August 2017, the band released the single 'DIE meets HARD'. The single featured a song made in collaboration with Koji Nakamura ('DIE meets HARD Koji Nakamura Remix'). The Limited Edition came with 2 discs; one containing 3 songs and the other containing their 'DIE meets HARD' music video and a 15 minute podcast between the 3 members (titled DIE HARD radio on the disk). A 1-minute edit of the song was used as the opening for the drama series Shimokitazawa DIE HARD.[20]
On 17 November 2017, the band's 6th studio album #5 was announced with a 14 February 2018 release date. This was the band's first album release in roughly 5 years. The limited edition came with a DVD containing music videos for 'Chocolate Passion' and '#5', as well as a second installment of DIE HARD radio, which once again featured a podcast between the three members.

Lyrics
Tatoeba me ga samete “subete wa maboroshi da” tte
Kisekimeita mousou wo kanaete hoshiin da
Boku ga egaita tsumi de ketsumatsu wo mitasanaide.
Itsuka kimi to miteita kono keshiki wa
Dare ni mo watasanai to chikatta no ni
Kowashi tsuzuketa boku wa nanika wo sukueta?
Kawarihateta ima ni kakumei no naifu.
Sasayaku you ni sashite hikari ni michita sayonara wo
I will miss you tsumi wa itsuka horobiru?
Boku no sei de kowareta mono dake ga utsuru afureru kanawanai mousou.
Tatoeba me ga samete “subete wa shinjitsu da” tte
Higekiteki na sairen wo narasanaide
Sekai no kizuato ni mirai wo furashite hoshiin da.
Hodokeru you ni sashite hikari ni michita sayonara wo
I will miss you batsu wo boku ni atae yo atae yo.
Subete no hokorobi wa boku ga eranda unmei dattan da
Oikakete oikakete itsu no ma ni ka torawaretemo
Kimi wa mada boku wo aishite wa kureru no?
“boku ja nakya” “boku ja dame da” “boku ja nakya” ga ruupu suru.
Tsumi mo batsu mo boku mo kimi mo horobosezu ni nokosarete shimatta
Kizu ga itai yo hodoketa shinario
Kagayaku mirai yo kimi ni aitai yo
Boku wo sashita naifu sae mo
Itsuka kitto hikari wo sasu kara.
