The first album released on 29 November 2014 after the band's split. Romanesco had recorded this album from March to August 2013, however it didn't see the light of day during the band's active time. This album has a loose concept that it was recorded and released in imaginary 1969 on imaginary Atlantic Records. To reproduce the authentic sound, the band used vintage guitars, basses, amps, percussion, and even a mellotron and a Hammond organ. The music is heavily inspired by Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones and Deep Purple.

The second album released on 17 July 2019. After the release of the first album, Romanesco made an attempt on a reformation but it ended up only KEN MIYAJIMA, the founding member and YUTARO, new guitarist, singer and songwriter being left. They began working on new material in 2015 and more than 20 songs were written. Miyajima brought them together into 8 songs, started recording with his Kinzoku-Yebis bandmate MASUHIRO GOTO in 2018. Like the previous album, it also has the concept that it was recording in imaginary 1972. To get it more realistic, Ken wrote lyrics in English first (written ones in the sleeve), then Japanese one (sung ones). The band also updated their sound with use of synthesizers, mostly a minimoog. And they added more "prog rock flavour" to the music.

Kinzoku-Yebis is a Japanese prog and hard/ doom rock band founded in 1996, they were inspired by King Crimson, Genesis, Black Sabbath and Ningen Isu. This album is the first album since their 2004 and second release Momijigari. Miyajima added his real tape mellotron and assorted vintage keyboards to their 1970s style heavy prog music. Also, they had new singer/ percussionist Hiromi Inamasu who totally improved their music. The album features a proggy cover version of YO IRIE's The River as well.

It also features MASUHIRO GOTO, ex Ningen Isu drummer who joind the band in 2014 for the first time. The title track Like Asura is completely inspired by Anekdoten, a Swedish mellotron-heavy doom prog band. Kinzoku-Yebis were often described as "Japanese version of Anekdoten" in their early years. The track made it in purpose.

The fourth album of Kinzoku-Yebis released on 29 August 2018. The first seven tracks are a suite based on Jun Ito's debut novel of the same name and two tracks features his own lyrics. The suite also was intended to be Kinzoku-Yebis' version of Tarkus, so it spans 20 minute long and divided into 7 sections. "Imaginary" side two features 4 songs. Another One is a funk rock tune penned by Goto. Sinful is a kind of "doom-prog", Miyajima adds prog flavour while the rest of the band plays doom rock. It's followed by Miyajima's piano composition Marquis Ohsawa Family which he dislikes himself. Gettan-so Kitan is a 10 minute-long Pink Floyd-ish epic based on Yukio Mishima's short story of the same title.

Kinzoku-Yebis made a guest appearance on a mini album by xoxo (Kiss & Hug) EXTREME, a prog girl group who had already released a cover version of Magma's Last Seven Minutes. The band recorded their version of Anekdoten's Nucleus and it was made into two versions, one features the girls and the other does the band. These cover version was praised by Anekdoten themselves so much. The album also includes one unreleased song and two live tracks, all of which don't feature Kinzoku-Yebis.

Shin Momijigari is a remastered version of 2004 album with 2 re-recorded tracks performed at band's favourite studio. Takagi had been frustrated with the original version of Momijigari because the song order is not what he intended and the sound was far from satisfaction. In early 2019 he found the original master of the album before the song order was changed by then-their label and he decided to remake it. 2019 version tunes were recorded after only one rehearsal and tracked down quickly by Ken Miyajima. The title was a pun of the film Shin Godzilla, so the cover art is a parody of the poster of it.

His Majesty Damian Hamada who founded Seikima II and left the band just before its debut, finally made a debut as a songwriter. As he didn't choose to play or sing unlike his indie-released solo album, the singer Sakura "Ciel" Ishadow and whole members of Kinzoku Yebis were chosen to perform. The music is based on hard rock and heavy metal from 1970s to 1980s but has some twist. The inspiration from clasical music, progressive rock, jazz, Latin music cam be found.

This album is the chapter II of Old Testament in Hell. As H.M. Damian Hamada claimed the album should contain karaoke tracks, Old Testament in Hell was divided into two albums which are to be released separately. The chapter II somehow has more "prog-ish" tunes compared to the chapter I. Miyajima plays lots of mellotron on this one, a passionate organ solo as well.

There was much chemistry. A poet and singer songwriter Shingo Suda Suddenly sent Miyajima his 15 demo songs. As soon as Miyajima listened to them, he offered Suda the production of the album. Suda's music meshed Miyajima's music far better than expected, so, it can be said it's Romanesco's third album as well as Suda's first solo album. Suda and Miyajima have been friends for a long time, but haven't seen each other face to face for one and half decades. They finally saw again when the shooting for the promotional video took place. Anyway, except drums and guest appearance, Miyajima did almost all the instrument and backing vocals, including guitars, bass, keys and mellotron. Since both are heavily inspired by early Pink Floyd and King Crimson, this album has kind of progressive rock flavour, but it's basically art-rock-ish pop songs.

A live recording of Kinzoku-Yebis' 20th anniversary concert. At that time, the band still had "vintage-prog rock" style unlike now that band focus more on the mixture of kayokyoku and hard rock. Miyajima brought his mellotron M400S for the first time since he joined the band. The setlist spans from an earliest tune Onigashima to then-latest Like Asura played by the "golden-age lineup". Miyajima also mixed the album.

The third album by Damian Hamada's Creatures is made of re-recording versions of H.M. Damian Hamada's previous solo efforts. Miyajima and members from Kinzoku-Yebis provided more ideas to make the music stronger. It actually made the album more like D.H.C.'s music than H.M. Damian Hamada's solo project. Miyajima played the bass more like Chris Squire who H.M. Damian Hamada had told him not to play like, and eventually H.M. Damian Hamada liked it. Some tunes features analogue mellotron like the band's previous works.

Kinzoku-Yebis' fifth full-length studio album. The first half of it consists of five songs based on Sci-Fi writer Sakyo Komatsu's unfinished work "Kyomu Kairō". The other half is made of variety of songs which include Miyajima's composition for which he also wrote the lyrics. The album not only brought back the band's complicated and "Progressive" music but also features some new elements. "A Boy Lost in the Starry Sky" was composed by Takagi being directed by late Chumei Watanabe, a legendary Sci-Fi soundtrack composer who died on 23 Jun 2022. Miyajima also dealt with mixing the album's materials.
