History Music / LuciferLusciousViolenoue

* ReclusiveArtist: Nowadays, you'd be hard pressed to find what she's up to these days considering the most recent news about her is from ''2006''.

Although she is notable as one of very few female Japanese rock musicians, she is gender-fluid and refers to herself neutrally with male pronouns, citing in the February 2001 issue of J-ROCK Magazine (in a joint interview alongside Mana (musician) of Malice Mizer and Moi Dix Mois fame) that she identifies as "gender" rather than male or female.

* PunctuationShaker: The latest iterations of her name have an apostrophe between "Luci" and "fer" (Luci'fer). Initially, that wasn't the case, but it still has the same pronunciation as the name "Lucifer." At least one variation writes her last name as "Violenoué" or "Violenoúe," mainly to seem more exotic.

* PunctuationShaker: The latest iterations of her name have an apostrophe between "Luci" and "fer" (Luci'fer). Initially, that wasn't the case, but it still has the same pronunciation as the name "Lucifer."

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her name has been stylized in different ways: ''Lucifer Luscious Violenoue'', ''Luci'fer Luscious Violenoue'' and ''LUCI'FER LUSCIOUS Violenoue''

* CapsLock: Upon the third iteration of her full name, her first name is written as thus: LUCI'FER.

* PunctuationShaker: The latest iterations of her name has an apostrophe between "Luci" and "fer" (Luci'fer). Initially, that wasn't the case, but it still has the same pronunciation as the name "Lucifer."

* GratuitousEnglish: When it comes to making the titles of her work but not so much when considering her lyrics in the songs.

* LongTitle: Occasionally.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her name is stylized in different ways: ''Lucifer Luscious Violenoue'', ''Luci'fer Luscious Violenoue'' and ''LUCI'FER LUSCIOUS Violenoue''
* SpokenWord: Related to NarrativePoem, where she would switch from singing to speaking occasionally.
* TheUnpronounceable: "Violenoue", eh? It's pronounced, 'viola-new' or 'viola-nu'... whatever floats your boat.

* TheNineties: When LUCI'FER begins to gain traction from underground goth/Visual Kei circles.

* SpokenWord: Too many examples to list down.

There has been no further news about Luci'fer since.

Luci'fer Luscious Violenoue is one of the very few female (yes, ''that's'' a female) artists of the VisualKei movement in the late [[TheEighties 80s]] and early [[TheNineties 90s]]. As an [[AmbiguousGender androgynous]] Japanese vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, photographer, video director, writer, jewelry designer, and model, it wouldn't hurt to have some diversity in a musical movement that has been AlwaysMale, right?. And she happened to be one of the most well-known amongst obscure female VK acts.

She's best recognized for her naturally androgynous appearance. [[InvertedTrope While most Visual Kei artists try to look like women, she tries to look like a man]], including referring to herself with male pronouns and playing male roles in her monologues.

* BreakupBreakout: Besides her, what ever happened to ''fiction''?

In 2006, she disappeared from the music scene and closed her official fan club, though noting in the final issue that she may "be seen again". Since that time, she has worked in Tokyo as a fortune teller in group La Miste Yasuragi under the name Nana Tarot-sensei. It is rumored that "Nana" may be her real given name--though unconfirmed, it is a popular name for girls born on July 7, as one of the name's possible meanings is "seven". In any case, little of her personal life is known in public.

* MysteriousPast: Little to nothing about her personal life is known to the public, including fans.

From 1986 to 1998 she led Visual Gothic rock band, GILLE'LOVES. Renamed to "[[AllLowercaseLetters fiction]]" in 1997. She has however started releasing her own solo works in 1994, which was before they disbanded. Though afterwards, she has been drifting to her own waters while not losing some influences with her old band's music and it's still somewhat visible in her songs.

She has cited her musical influences as Music/DavidBowie, Music/TheCure, and Music/{{Bauhaus}}. fiction contributed cover track "In The Flat Field" to the internationally released compilation album ''Satori: A Tribute to Bauhaus''.

During her years, she's probably been best recognized for her naturally androgynous appearance. [[InvertedTrope While most Visual Kei artists try to look like women, she tries to look like a man]]. Also, she tends to use male pronouns and play male roles in her monologues. Also a known trait is her style in music. Though simplistic, it is still rather elegant and has an "easy to listen" feel in it. Her vocals are not limited to singing and have released tracks in spoken word. Some sounding like a ''Sprechgesang'' (speech-song) as they can sometimes have spoken lyrics inserted along the way.

Then there's her anonymity--As of now, nobody knows her real name, rumors aside. Her age as well (born July 7, 19XX).

In 2006, she disappeared from the music scene and closed her official fan club, though noting in the final issue that she may "be seen again". Since that time, she has worked in Tokyo as a fortune teller in group La Miste Yasuragi under the name Nana Tarot-sensei. It is rumored that "Nana" may be her real given name--though unconfirmed, it is a popular name for girls born on July 7, as one of the name's possible meanings is "seven".

Then in 2011, she seems to have made a comeback: under her Website/YouTube account, she posted one song that is supposed to be one of the tracks in her upcoming album called ''Iyashi no Tsuki'', to be released in November. Unfortunately, to the disappointment of some fans, this was a fraud and the tracks were plagiarized from another obscure VK band, DIE RAUM KUNST.

As for the real Lucifer, it is unknown whether she'll decide to come back into the music scene or not.

* AmbiguousGender: This goes without saying.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: Seriously, even a girl (or gay man) would find ''her'' hot.

* {{Goth}}

* LadyLooksLikeADude

* MysteriousPast: Perhaps, we might not know about her life too soon.

* TheNineties: Is when her fame started to grow.
* PetitePride: She seems to flaunt her small-breasted state quite all the time by wearing exclusively male garment. Her chests are just too invisible, even for a female.
* PurpleProse: In Japanese! Abundant kanji, deep words, detailed sentence structures. What her [=PVs=] so minimally show, she makes up for it with flowery lyrics and narrations.

* ConceptAlbum: "Kusari ni Tsunagareta Tenshi" is an album that contains songs of experimental length and centered around the themes of WorldWarII, UsefulNotes/NaziGermany, and a {{deconstruction}} of "Lili Marleen", a famous love song at the time. It is about a girl in Germany in World War II. She had the dream of running away with her lover, but he was drafted, and she couldn’t go to war with him since she was a woman.

* XMeetsY: There's an interview between Mana and Lucifer. [[http://web.archive.org/web/20090828053952/http://luciferluscious.com/trans/lucifermana.html One of the most awesome things to happen in VK history]].
