 ====== Artistry ======
-(TENTATIVE)
+Utsu-P, the primary songwriter, stated that the primary reasons for forming the band were for writing more live performance oriented music as well as for allowing his vocaloid music to grow into more experimental ranges that wouldn't fit a live performance as well.\\
-The Ohayogozaimas, a Japanese Metalcore band founded in 2015 by Utsu-P, draws inspiration and stylistic cues from a diverse range of musical influences akin to Megadeth's comprehensive musical roots. Traditional heavy metal groups like UFO, Black Sabbath, and Judas Priest, as well as the new wave of British heavy metal (NWOBHM) bands such as Raven, Motorhead, and Iron Maiden, significantly shaped The Ohayogozaimas' sound. Their guitar style echoes the influence of hard rock bands like AC/DC, Queen, Led Zeppelin, and German acts like Scorpions and Accept.
-Utsu-P, the primary songwriter, composes songs around distinct riffs that undergo modifications, shaping the band's musical direction. Like Megadeth's Mustaine, Utsu-P's approach involves separate composition of song fragments, later compacted into cohesive structures by the band. The band's lyricism, often written post-music arrangement, draws inspiration from literary works, akin to Mustaine's exploration of themes from George Orwell's novels and other literary sources.
+The Ohayogozaimas' music incorporates elements such as harsh vocals, catchy guitar riffs, electronic elements, and intense metalcore sections. The band benefits from Utsu-P's talents as producer to allow a high end produced sound.\\
-The Ohayogozaimas' music incorporates elements such as harsh vocals, fast rhythm sections, staccato riffing, and intense lead guitar work. The band's early albums, produced on modest budgets, resonated with underground metal enthusiasts. Similar to Megadeth's evolution from Mustaine's earlier band, Metallica, The Ohayogozaimas emphasize speed and intensity while maintaining a strong foundation in the metalcore style.
+The band's lineup has remained stable, with the only addition being drummer Kojiro Yamazaki joining in 2017. Since Design EP, Utsu-P has said that having a drummer has injected a more "band"-like sound into their music, instead of being almost fully composed by Utsu-P prior to recording. As they release more music, their sound generally becomes more precise and focused with a serious, yet also playful feeling. The band's lyrics generally contain uplifting messages, or cover social themes and perspectives as an artist.
-While the band's lineup has remained stable, drummer Kojiro Yamazaki joined in 2017, injecting new energy into their musical expression. Their songwriting techniques peaked with successive albums, resonating with precision and fluidity, akin to Megadeth's celebrated album, Rust in Peace, acknowledged for its technical brilliance. The band's lyrics mirror Megadeth's themes of death, war, politics, and personal relationships, often exploring nihilistic subjects while occasionally addressing alienation and social issues.
-Despite not receiving formal accolades, The Ohayogozaimas' influence extends across the Japanese Metalcore scene. Their most recent album, 'Seishi,' continues to showcase their musical evolution, much like Megadeth's journey through varying musical styles over the years, solidifying their place in the realm of Metalcore.
