Description

[Machine Translation] With the soul of HEAVY METAL in their hearts, the band has created an inspiring miracle music that conveys momentariness, heat, excessive soul, and world music with a cosmic progressive interpretation to the modern age! In 2001, Kiyooshi Sakai (Piano) of ex-BOAT, the predecessor band of NATSUMEN, joined the band. After participating in several omnibus albums, they made their debut in 2004 with a mini-album "music from the mars" on mona records, a label that has produced artists such as Matsuki Ayumu. Their original style of rock, song, urban, progressive, and danceable music became a hot topic in various fields. In October of the following year, their full album "summery" was released on mona records. The album was produced by Itoken (who has played for Harpy, zuppa di pesce, Hitotou, DCPRG, and many others), and also featured the members of Kuchikuchi, who were at the peak of their popularity (Kuchikuchi and Kissel performed at the record release event). Around the time of the album's release, they appeared at "MARQUEE NIGHT" hosted by MARQUEE magazine, along with Nanao Tabito and Nirgiris, and their public recognition and attention are rising rapidly! Fujii joined the instrumental band Fresh! In October 2006, he performed at the "TOKYO SOUND REVOLUTION" festival in Scandinavia with ego-wrappin', MOODMAN, and others. Sakai is also active as a member of good music, which recently released a split CD with sgt. Fujii and Ohno participate in the backing of female singer ELLIE ( ex-Love Tambourines ).
