Nightmare/ナイトメア may have gotten a lot of their popularity from Death Note but they deserve their place among the best visual kei bands of all time imo. Love this band! 😍

They have TOO many bangers not to be. Sad to see how they've diminished over time though...

I think they are of a pretty high "Legend Status", so to speak, at least based on their success in Japan. They probably get a little less praise then you'd proportionally expect in the western fan world.
Every time I revisit Nightmare, I'm impressed at how good a lot of their songwriting is. Particularly, from like 2004-2008 I find, every album is full of really dense, but easy to listen to, tunes. I listened to Killer Show for the first time in ages a few days ago and I was amazed how much of a melodic contribution the bass was. Great bass lines and total earworm guitar solos on every track, it's crazy. Only thing that got a little annoying was how formulaic every track felt on that album, but you've got an album like anima, in contrast, which is full of some really varied and progressive tracks.
