With continuously best-selling albums and singles in Tokyo since 1999, it's difficult to tell if D'esparsRay garnered its success from its gothic and often flamboyant image characterized by heavy eye makeup and a penchant for effeminately styled black clothing. Excessive eyeliner aside, D'esparsRay has built a huge following in Japan and rapidly spread that fan base throughout the world, performing on the Taste of Chaos tour and the Wacken Open Air Festival.
