[Kato Shiroi]

Music Guest: Abingdon Boys School
J-Rock, Jpop

Wiki excerpt:
All of the band's singles are songs that have been used in anime and video games; perhaps owing to Nishikawa's personal interests, having gone so far as to voice a few anime roles himself. "Innocent Sorrow" was used as the opening for D.Gray-Man; "Howling" and "From Dusk Till Dawn" for Darker Than Black and its sequel Ryūsei no Gemini; "Nephilim" for the PlayStation 3 game Folklore; "Blade Chord" and "JAP" for the Sengoku Basara series; "Strength" for Soul Eater, and "Kimi no Uta" for Tokyo Magnitude 8.0. "Fre@k $HoW", the b-side off their "Innocent Sorrow" single, was also used in a tribute compilation CD for the movie Death Note: the Last Name. A slightly modified version of the b-side off their "JAP" single, dubbed "Valkyrie -Lioleia Mix-", was also featured in the video game Monster Hunter tribute album Monster Hunter 5th Anniversary.
