Biography:
Nobuyuki Takatsudo (Vocal&Guitar), Masamitsu Yamada (Bass), Shinichi Notaki (Drums) formed the band in the summer of 2003, during their high school junior year. They entered many band contests and won the "Best Band Award" soon after they started the band. Although planning to quit the band after graduating high school, they received many great responses and decided to seriously start the career. From their consistent gigs, they received recognition such as "amazing vocals", "impressive band". In November of 2006, an old music friend, Takumi Yamashita (Guitar) joined and became a 4 member-band. They released their first album from a label of Sony Music. After they left the label, they signed with Spice Records and released their second album "immature". It sold more than major label releases and became a top selling album at the local music stores. They made a historical record as an indie band. The album was also ranked 2nd on the cutthroat rock chart of the most popular mobile site in Japan. Each song tells dreams and wistful stories like drawn on picture books, which makes their style unique. Heartful pure songs bring tears to lots of fans at gigs.
