Izabel Varosa is a Japanese visual kei rock band. They were formed by KAZUI (g) and Chihiro (g) in 2004 and were picked up in 2005 by Applause Records, an indies label run by Lareine's vocalist, Kamijo. To date, Izabel Varosa have released one single, three maxi-singles and two mini-albums. In August 2006, Hikaru (vo), Chihiro (g), and Emi (ba) left the band due to musical differences, which resulted in the release of the band's first full-length album being cancelled.

Rurutia (ルルティア) is a Japanese singer-songwriter. She began her career in 2001 with the release of the single "Itoshigo yo" when she was signed with Toshiba-EMI.

Her mass media appearances have been limited to broadcasts of the Internet radio program "RURUTIA Planet," which began streaming on her official website after she became independent, interviews with photos posted on her official website, and interviews in music magazines.

This, added to her whispered vocals, creates a unique and mysterious artistic persona.
