Musical Style
Dazzle Vision is known for having a hard rock sound and vocalist Maiko's alternation between her soft, melodic vocals and heavy fry screaming, allowing the band to cover a wide range of sounds ranging from pop to metalcore and prompting many fans to give her the nickname "Death-Voice" Maiko.

Early in the band's history (Origin of Dazzle) they had a darker, gothic sounding style with heavy instrumentals combined with Maiko's haunting vocals. Their sound transitioned however upon their next release (Camellia Japonica) to a more pop/rock sound with a lighter tone, though still not abandoning their heavy rock sound, using both in the same album and, often, the same song.
