Profile
1996 The band was formed as a university music club. 2002 Released “Houkai Amplifier” through an independent record label.
April 2003 The band debuted through an unordinary re-release of the same by Ki/oon Records.
In the same year, the band organized the NANO-MUGEN FESTIVAL at LOFT Shinjuku. Since 2004, this festival has included foreign artists and has annually expanded its sites to include places such as Budoukan and Yokohama Arena. The festival is in its 8th year this year.
The band has released 8 albums and 12 singles. From 2008 to 2009, the band released 3 albums and 2 singles continuously, and with its new releases, the band went on tours from live houses to arenas. The band also accomplished its first hall tour for new year’s day in 2009. The band has successfully developed its new music style by experimenting with the incorporation of new sounds, such as strings arrangement and acoustic parts, to its music. The emotion of real “frustration” created by Gotoh, the band’s style of portraying explosive emotion felt through the impending force of desperation and the “Japanese language rock music” that exceeds more than just the feeling of power force have continuously attracted the music scene and have garnered great support from fans of different generations.
