Kazushi and Rayzi, both originally from Rouage, had formed Stray Pig Vanguard in 2001. A far cry from Rouage, the new group was completely made over and sported a loose, relaxed look. Their main focus is the power of performing live activities, pouring from one scene and genre into a variety of others so that they cannot be categorized as one individual style. Yet, they seek to keep it simple and remain easily recognizable by their stage presence.
