There are multiple artists/bands under the name of Fiction. 1) Fiction (Japanese): Originally formed in Nagoya, they were called Gille' Loves. After struggling almost for a decade to gain recognition, they moved to Tokyo and changed their name to Fiction. The reason for the name change is said to be because many fans took the dark gothic but sensual world created through their music too seriously. In response, the band claimed that everything is just 'fiction'. Fiction was largely influenced by numerous 80s new wave British bands such as Bauhaus and Joy Division.
