Merry is a Hardcore punk act. Their sound grew out of Yuki, The Blue Hearts, BUCK-TICK, THE BACK HORN and Balzac. Those roots explain a lot about how Merry arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as DIR EN GREY, Lynch., Luna Sea, DIAURA and Sug, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Kaoru, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 14 connections around Merry, reaching back through Yuki and forward to Kaoru.
