==Band history== In 1992, following the end of [[Kamaitachi (band)|Kamaitachi]], Sceana and Kazzy started Genkaku Allergy. The same year their first EP, ''Mouth to Mouth'', was released by [[Free-Will]]. This first work quickly climbed up the indie charts to the first position. In 1994, they achieved a deal with major label, [[Victor Entertainment]]. After their final album, ''D no Susume'', Genkaku Allergy disbanded in early 1997. Nine years later, Sceana revived the group for one last concert on March 12, 2006, with Kazzy only playing support under the alias Kazii Sasuke.
In 2020, Sceana restarted the group as simply Genkaku. Two years later, he was joined by TSP guitarist Shu and former [[Zi:Kill]] bassist Seiichi. In 2023, TSP drummer Hina joined in August, and Genkaku released the self-cover mini-album ''Kill Mother Fucker''.
