Jaurim - official site

PROFILE
Jaurim are one of the most popular female fronted rock groups in Korea. Their blend of rock with a psychedelic element has meant that they have attracted fans not only in Korea but also in other parts of Asia and the world. So much so that they were offered a joint concert with Irish band The Cranberries.The four member line up has released 6 full length studio albums, a compilation and a covers album along with several side projects and solo works.

BIOGRAPHY
Hailing from Seoul, Jaurim, formerly known as The Ugly Duckling, started playing gigs in the underground Shinchon scene in 1997. It was late in 1997 that they changed their name to Jaurim, which is taken from three Chinese characters (紫, ja, meaning purple. 雨, u, meaning rain. And 林, rim, meaning forest) making the meaning Purple Rainy Forest, when they were signed to Nanjang Records. The band formed when Lee Sun Kyu and Kim Jin Man were playing in bands around the Hongik University in Seoul. They met Kim Yuna and Goo Tae Hoon while playing in a band called CCR and went on to form Ugly DucklingThe song that first brought them to the attention of the mainstream market was Hey, Hey, Hey, which was featured on the soundtrack for the Korean drama The Man with a Flower. It was this song that lead to them getting signed to a major label shortly before the release of their first album Purple Heart, which was met with critical acclaim.In 1998, Jaurim made a comeback with their second album entitled Lover, which featured the well received song Mi An Hae Neol Mi War Hae (sometimes known as 'Sorry, I hate you') and an album with remakes of some of their songs along with some new material. The release of their album Lover, was met with some controversy as 9 out of the 14 tracks were banned from Korean radio.In 2002, the band officially disbanded due to issues with singer Kim Yuna being regarded as the shining star of the group. Despite this the group re-united in 2004 with the release of their 5th full length album, All You Need Is Love and the hit song Ha Ha Ha Song and have been performing concerts both in Korea and Japan. Kim Yuna has also become a solo artist in her own right and the other members have formed the band Choco Cream Rolls.In 2007, Jaurim returned with their own digital single and a collaboration with Drunken Tiger on their single, Spray Love.

Juka


PROFILE
Juka first became known to the public in 2002, when he was discovered and recruited by Mana (Ex-Malice Mizer, Moi dix Mois). Later he also became the vocalist for HIZAKI grace project, before he went solo. He is gifted with a beautiful and emotional voice, which improves with every single release. If you like the music of HIZAKI and KAMIJO you should definitely give Juka a try.


BIOGRAPHY
Juka was born in Yamaguchi, Japan on October 4th. He has been interested in music his entire life, and his first main influence was his father, who is also a skilled singer. Encouraged by his mother, he began learning to play the keyboards and various wind instruments. Juka's career began in 2002 when he was discovered by the famous visual kei artist Mana, who immediately recruited him for his solo project Moi dix Mois. His identity was kept a secret for several months, before he was exposed to the public during the band's first live at Shibuya AX on July 31st. Juka, who was said to be a voice fusion of Gackt and Klaha (both former members of Mana's first major band, Malice Mizer), remained with the band for three years. He contributed with his vocals for three singles, two albums and two DVD's. However, in April of 2005, he announced his departure from Moi dix Mois, the reason being "disagreements in musical imaginations." He took his leave after the last concert of the Invite to Immortality tour, which took place the same month. It didn't take long before he was heard from again: in October 2006 the guitarist HIZAKI announced that Juka would be the vocalist in his project HIZAKI grace project. With this band, Juka released one album, Dignity of crest, a live DVD, Monsho, and a mini album, Ruined kingdom. However, in February 2007 HIZAKI announced that he and KAMIJO (ex Lareine) would start the band Versailles together, while Juka would begin a solo career. These activities would take priority over HIZAKI grace project.On 28 March 2007, Juka released his first single as a solo artist. Both HIZAKI and KAMIJO helped out writing and producing the music and also backed him on his next release, the mini-album Luxurious, which was released in June. Juka also participated in a concert to celebrate KAMIJO's birthday and all three performed together with Kaya (ex Schwarz Stein) in the rock musical Node of Scherzo. In October he released SAINT CROIX, the first song he had written himself, but in December he announced that he would retire from the stage due to throat polyps. His upcoming project, the band Seventh Sense, was called off and the name instead used for his final release, a "best of" album containing all songs from his short solo career.
