Velvet Eden es un grupo de música electrónica, Industrial, Darkwave y rock japonés. Con toques góticos y con una elaborada estética visual, desde sus inicios esta banda vio su imagen como algo que no podía separarse de su música, y aunque sufrió varios cambios de miembros este concepto se supo mantener siempre con el vocalista Dada como estandarte, quien es el único miembro que permaneció en toda la trayectoria de la banda. El nombre Velvet Eden viene de una colección de fotos pornográficas prohibida en la Francia de la década de 1930, lo cual Dada aseguró no saber nada de dicho Álbum Pornográfico.

Közi is currently in the bands Dalle, XA-VAT, ZIZ and Vamquet, while occasionally performing solo shows.
