PROGRESS

[Machine Translation] defspiral's long-awaited 1st ALBUM. As the band members themselves have stated, "This is a piece that can be used as your business card," this is the album version of the theme song "DIVE INTO THE MIRROR" from the debut single "Kamen Rider Dragon Night. And in this rapidly changing music scene, despite almost no promotion, they have continued to steadily increase sales, including their 2nd SINGLE "Twilight", 3rd SINGLE "REVOLVER", and latest SINGLE "MELODY", which is one of their most popular songs at this point in time. The content of "Twilight", "Revolver", and "Melody", which includes the latest single "Melody", is reminiscent of a BEST ALBUM, and both "Twilight" and "Revolver" have reached No. 1 on both the Chaku-Uta and Chaku-Uta Full distribution sites. The album version of "DIVE INTO THE MIRROR", the theme song for "MASKED RIDER DRAGON NIGHT", the USA remake of Masked Rider Ryuki, which was the first overseas production of its kind, has an intense yet sophisticated arrangement with a delicate and catchy melody line. The song "MELODY" is a straight message from the singer, Taka, who is one of the most talented singers in the Japanese music scene, and his singing ability and the presence he exudes are very appealing. The Underneath" expanded their activities to the world, and together with Mook and D'espairsRay, toured the U.S. with "ROCKSTAR taste of CHAOS 2008" (34 shows in 38 cities in North America), which was a great success. The band was also invited to headline "OTAKON 2008," a large-scale convention held in Baltimore, Maryland, and established a new position in the US. After the band members left the band and disbanded, they released their 1st single "DIVE INTO THE MIRROR" in May 2010 and started a new band, defspiral. In March and April 2011, TAKA played a semi-leading role in the ROCK musical "Pink Spider" (featuring Shinji Takeda, Gota Watanabe, Nao Minamisawa, Hitomi Takahashi, and J (LUNASEA) music director iNA) using only Hide's songs, and defspiral performed all songs live (27 performances in total). The range of their activities is expanding more and more!
