ENDLESS

[Machine Translation] Formed in 2014, the Shimokitazawa-based five-piece rock band known as "Vivian" was formed when the members, who had been active in different music fields, met. The band is a "J-POP mutation type ROCK quintet" with a technical and solid sound played by the talented members, a popular vocal voice of Kiila that seems to conflict with the music, and a melody that hits the heart of 90's J-POP. The band has been active under the name "J-POP Mutant ROCK Quintet". Soon after forming, the demo sound source "Zero" was released exclusively at the Tower Records Shibuya store, and it was an exceptionally big hit at the store, reaching No. 6 on the Shibuya store's overall weekly chart and selling out its 1000 copies. Two nationally distributed albums have been released so far. The "PROGRESS PROGRAM" series, a series of regularly held independent versus project, has so far included Yonseikyu, jamming O.P., Tesla Won't Cry, and PENGUINRESESESES. PENGUINRESEARCH, and others. They have also appeared at many popular events such as Yatsui Festival, SAKAE SP-RING, MINAMI WHEEL, and MOSHI MOSHI NIPPON FESTIVAL, and are actively performing live. Their last mini-album "Prevail" has been selling well. The music video for the lead song "Coelacanth Dance" has been viewed over 300,000 times on YouTube and is slowly gaining views. This album is a completely self-produced work released on the band's newly launched independent label, MONOLITHIC RECORDINGS.
