Kadenzza describes himself as "Grand Orchestral Kamikaze Metal From Japan," which while rather dramatic, is also very fitting. You Oshima's one man act plays a highly orchestral, dark kind of metal. The music is very challenging and eccentric - even the word "orchestral" isn't sufficient to describe the style. The music includes a mix of guitar heroism, piano, synths, vocals with effects, as well as programmed, aggressive and hyper drum parts. Additionally, the music includes a mix of stylish elements that transmit both Eastern and Western atmospheres.
b>Kadenzza's style genuinely stands out among other Japanese bands and You Oshima is the gifted multi-talent who has yet to gain the recognition he truly deserves in the field of Japanese metal.
By way of reference, the music could be described as a mix of Emperor, Dream Theater and King Crimson, with added neo-classical elements.
