Also, on August 6, 2008, a mini-album was released, ''Supernova'', after the song of the same name used as Emperor Form's theme song. It also features character songs for Garulu, Basshaa, and Dogga, two of which have been featured as the ending theme in the series. In early December, the band released their first and only fully original album entitled ''Destiny''. The album contained numerous character songs written by previous tokusatsu song writers including Ryo and Shuhei Naruse. The album also included the tracks Destiny's Play, Individual System, Roots of the King and Supernova from previous releases. Also in December, another album was released called Inherited System, which contained character songs sung by actors who have used the IXA System in the TV series. Two Tetra-Fang songs were included in the release, which were Individual System and Fight for Justice. The group officially disbanded after Kamen Rider Kiva had completed its broadcasting, however both keyboardist Shuhei and guitarist Ayano continue to be involved in the musical side of the Kamen Rider franchise. Shuhei and Ayano reunited as part of the Kamen Rider Decade series, producing three albums of cover versions of previous Kamen Rider theme songs. The songs arranged by Shuhei featured Ayano on guitar. Both musicians have since continued providing their musical services for the franchise, composing and performing several songs featured in the various series. The popularity of the group however resulted in a reunion for a final album consisting mostly of covers of previous Tetra-Fang songs. The album however, entitled ''Masked Rider Kiva Destiny's Play Re-Union'', did include three original songs; two sung by Kivat and the final track sung by Wataru and Otoya as a duet. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tetra-Fang」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
