Fatüm Special Unit Forms With Sui and Hide-zou
A new special unit called Fatüm has officially formed, and it's already making waves in the Visual Kei underground. The project brings together two seasoned veterans of the Japanese rock scene: vocalist Sui and guitarist/vocalist Hide-zou, both of whom boast impressive résumés across multiple notable bands.
Sui's vocal prowess is well-known to fans of Metis Gretel, Megaromania, and DAVID, among others. Hide-zou, meanwhile, earned recognition during his time with the legendary band D before pursuing solo work. Together, they're creating something fresh under the Fatüm banner — a name with a distinctly artistic pedigree.
What makes this project particularly intriguing is that the unit's name was personally chosen by **Mana**, the visionary founder of MALICE MIZER and Moi dix Mois. Fatüm is the Latin word for "destiny," and Mana's involvement signals that this is no ordinary side project. His blessing alone suggests that Fatüm carries weight within the VK community and may represent something conceptually significant beyond a simple collaboration.
The duo will make their live debut with a performance titled **"Vox Dei"** (Latin for "voice of God") on **May 30th at Shibuya REX** in Tokyo. This venue choice is significant — Shibuya REX is a respected mid-sized live house that hosts both established acts and promising new projects, making it the perfect stage for Fatüm's introduction to audiences.
At this early stage, details remain limited, but the pedigree of the members and Mana's involvement suggest that Fatüm will be worth keeping on your radar. Whether this is a temporary special unit or the beginning of something more permanent remains to be seen, but the theatrical Latin nomenclature and carefully curated presentation point to a project with artistic ambition.
If you're curious about what Sui and Hide-zou have created under the Fatüm banner, mark May 30th on your calendar. Follow the official vk.gy channels for further announcements and updates on how to catch their debut live.
