藍華柳 (Aikaryu) was a visual kei indies band with a metal influenced sound. Their costumes are usually theme-based (Pirates, Vampires etc.) and comedic plays were often included in their lives.

They formed in 2000 and after several line-up changes and releases on omnibus albums they finally joined CROW music and released a couple of singles and a mini-album the following years. In 2005 Takamasa left and was replaced by Shagrath.

In 2006, the band was involved in car accident, forcing the band to cancel lives and pause activities. However, the members who recovered played in session bands during this time.

Due to Uli not being able to return as their drummer, Aikaryu have decided to disband on July 15th 2007 after their Kyoto ARC DEUX live. Kaworu and Uli announced that they will retire from the music scene, Teru is currently in the now famous Versailles as well as Jupiter, Shagrath was a member of Irodori, but since it disbanded he has been playing in several session bands. Currently he's in the UNDER CODE PRODUCTION band 朱. Daiki's activity is currently unknown.

The band is going to have a one day revival on July 21st, with other disbanded CROW music bands, but Teru's participation is still not confirmed due to his intense activities with Versailles.

Current member line-up:

Vocal: カヲル (Kaworu) Guitar: TERU Guitar: Shagrath Bass: だぃき (Daiki) Drums: ULI
