Pay Money to My Pain (stylized as Pay money To my Pain and abbreviated as P.T.P.) was a Japanese alternative rock/metal band. All of the band's lyrics are in English.[1]

History

Early in life, Kei started writing lyrics as a way to cope with his depression and dark feelings. In 2005, after the disbandment of vocalist K's previous band, Gun Dog, he recruited four members and formed Pay money To my Pain. Kei said that the lyrics he wrote expressed his deepest pain and when fans bought the CDs, they were literally buying into his pain. Hence, Pay money To my Pain was born. They began to produce songs by themselves before getting noticed quickly by the record label VAP. From there, they released their first major single "Drop of Ink" on December 6, 2006.[2]

Several months later, they ventured to California where they recorded their first album, Another Day Comes, which was released on September 12, 2007. The album included "Home", the Buzzer Beater ending song, and "Another Day Comes", the ending song for Ultraseven X.[3]

Guitarist Jin left Pay Money to My Pain in April 2008. The EP, Writing in the Diary, was released on July 30, 2008.[4]

The band's song "Bury", from the album After You Wake Up, was featured as the opening theme to the anime One Outs. Another of their songs, "The Answer is Not in the TV", was featured in the Konami video game Pro Evolution Soccer 2010.

In June 2012, vocalist K was hospitalized. In that summer, Pay Money to My Pain performed their live show "House of Chaos". They covered Buck-Tick's song "Love Letter" for Parade II -Respective Tracks of Buck-Tick-, released on July 4, 2012.[6] In October, K was again hospitalized and went through rehabilitation; the band declared an activity stop. On December 30, 2012, K died of acute heart failure in his Yokohama home.

On 20 September 2013, announced a new album called Gene,[7] with songs that K recorded before his death as well as songs recorded with guest vocalists. The album, released on November 13, 2013, included "Rain", the theme song of the movie Sekisekirenren, "Innocent in a Silent Room" and a new version of "Sweetest Vengeance".[8]
