DISACODE is a Japanese three-member visual kei rock band formed in 2007.

History

DISACODE was originally formed in January 2007, with female fashion model AKIRA as vocalist and the central focus. The band was dissolved at one point, however at that time AKIRA took over the band name and music composition.

In 2010, three new members were added to the band - Shin, Marcy and Daichi. Their first live concert together was on April 9, 2010. In July of the same year, their first album Akashic Records was released.

In 2011, the mini-album Kakkotsukezu ni wa Irarenai was released.

In 2012, the full album Ryuu no Hige wo Ari ga Nerau was released.

In March 2013, Daichi left the band. His spot is currently being temporarily filled by support members.

Band Name

The band name is a word that AKIRA came up with, referring to rock music that defies boundaries. It is made of three parts - "DIS", "A", & "CODE". "DIS" refers to the negative prefix used in English, and "CODE" refers to boundary lines. AKIRA wrote on her blog that it has a meaning of ignoring or pushing boundaries.
