D (ディー, ) is a Japanese visual kei[3] metal/rock band formed in 2003 by Asagi, Ruiza and Sin, after their previous band Syndrome disbanded.[4][5] D's music includes heavy guitar songs, as well as melancholic ballads and even medieval music and folk dance from around the world. Their lyrics focus on love, human nature and esoteric themes, such as spirituality and the relationship between persons and nature, and their costumes are closely related to the stories they tell.[6] Their styling matches their music: fantastical, gothic and elegant.
