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.

Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or style:
“Creative force, like a musical composer, goes on unweariedly repeating a simple air or theme, now high, now low, in solo, in chorus, ten thousand times reverberated, till it fills earth and heaven with the chant.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Sometimes among our more sophisticated, self-styled intellectuals—and I say self-styled advisedly; the real intellectual I am not sure would ever feel this way—some of them are more concerned with appearance than they are with achievement. They are more concerned with style then they are with mortar, brick and concrete. They are more concerned with trivia and the superficial than they are with the things that have really built America.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
