Musical Style
Nightmare's band concept is Gianizm and this word occurs in many of their song titles. Gianizm is derived from the Doraemon character Gian. Gian's motto is "What's yours is mine, what's mine is mine." ("Omae no mono wa ore no mono. Ore no mono wa ore no mono."). Incidentally, this also forms the name of the two 'best of' albums on which Nightmare re-released their indie songs. The band has often ventured into new genres or styles, such as on their most recent album "SCUMS" where they experiment with electronica and dubstep or "Masquerade" and "Konoha" where they experiment with ska and reggae. They usually combine these styles with gothic/hard rock and often pop or jazz.
