sold very well in the visual kei underground scene. However, in 2004, Kaya and Hora decided to end the "Schwarz Stein" project, due to
differences between the two members. Since then, Kaya has made a humongous name for himself as a solo electronic visual kei artist, while
Hora continues to produce various electronic projects. The duo have reunited twice: once in 2006 for a special limited edition reunion CD, and
once more in 2011, for their 10th anniversary, which was highly publicized. Tickets were even available for purchase overseas via CDJapan. « hide |
