"HeavensDust" is a rock blending with Japanese traditional sound.
The band was formed by Shin in 2000 with the idea of taking the soul of Japanese traditional music and combining with a Western, modern sound. Each member plays an integral part in the creation of their unique sound. The mixture of Japanese and Western style that Shin had originally created is enhanced by the trying sound of the Japanese traditional instruments.
