garden's only demotape is now available in CD form.
garden was a gothic visual kei band that formed in Osaka (大阪) in 1994. ex-SHËY≠DË bassist KISAKI joined them shortly after formation, then left after about six months to join STELLA MARIA. Between that time, the band released one demotape, Kubitsuri Teien ~HANGING GARDEN~ (首吊り庭園 ~HANGING GARDEN~). As KISAKI stated on Twitter, he was only 18 when the original demotape was recorded!
As of November 2nd, the full, completely remastered version of that demotape is available in pressed CD form through the LORELEI ENTERTAINMENT GROUP web shop, and at the upcoming MIRAGE live. It costs 2,200 yen and features brand new cover art.
Although a remastered version of the song Sabbat was released in 2007 and 2019, this is the first time that the complete work has been re-released.

By the way, the Matina band GARDEN that formed in 2000 purposely chose their name as an homage to KISAKI and his time in this band.
