Browse piano sheets by QUEEN BEE (Ziyoou-vachi) on Zen Virtual Piano. QUEEN BEE formed in Kobe in 2009 and began playing live shows mainly around its home area. Age, family and educational background are not officially stated for the members, who work under pseudonyms, but they have sometimes alluded to such details in passing or addressed them in song lyrics. Vocalist Avu-chan recalls that stepping onto a stage for the first time in high heels in 2009 sent a bolt of lightning through the whole body, and felt that gender, age and nationality no longer mattered. A first stage moment remembered as a jolt suggests that the band began with a strong sense of what performing could be. The band stopped activity in 2013 because members felt great pressure as the band's exposure grew while their musical skill and growth did not keep pace. Avu-chan considered leaving music and going home, but encouragement from staff at the agency led the vocalist to continue. A pause caused by pressure, and a decision to continue because of encouragement, make the band's history look less like a straight climb than a series of choices. Avu-chan says songs come quickly, even in the bath or while walking, and that the band could be called one that runs on flashes of inspiration. Avu-chan writes songs that fit a personal sense in about five minutes, so the band's songs range from Showa-era kayo touches to glittering dance-music styles with little in common in sound. For Mephisto, Avu-chan drew the motif from Goethe's Faust and cites authors who richly depicted people's doings and passions, such as Go Nagai, Yukio Mishima and Shakespeare. Songs written in minutes and a motif taken from Faust sit together in a way that hints at fast instinct working alongside long reading. Mephisto, the ending theme for the hit anime Oshi no Ko, has itself become a long-running hit song, and Avu-chan is responsible for both its lyrics and its music. After playing in America in spring, Avu-chan began to think that the passion and strength of Japanese could serve as a passport, saying the venues in Seattle and Los Angeles went wild at the kind of show the band usually puts on. A song that carried an anime ending and then audiences abroad who responded in the same way suggest a band whose live style travels well.
