Laputa's discography consists of 7 studio albums, 4 EPs, 12 singles, 3 compilations, 8 music videos, and 2 demos. Formed in 1993, they released their first album Memai in 1995, a year after their debut single “Watashi ga Kieru”. Their second album became their first release on a major label, EMI, titled Kagerō (1996).[1] It was followed by Emadara (1997), which was named one of the best albums from 1989 to 1998 in a 2004 issue of the music magazine Band Yarouze.[2] The subsequent albums Jakō (1998) and Cakera (1999) reached the top 10 on the Oricon Albums Chart. The last two, Heaven (2001) and New Temptation (2002), dropped to No. 50 at Oricon, due to changes in musical style and record label. Laputa then disbanded in 2004.[3]
