History

2005–2006: Early days and debut

AAA was originally planned to be a 6 member group. At first, members included Takahiro Nishijima, Naoya Urata, Shuta Sueyoshi, Shinjiro Atae, Mitsuhiro Hidaka and Misako Uno as the only girl. Avex later decided to add two more girls; Chiaki Itō and Yukari Goto. As songs like "Blood on Fire" and "Friday Party" were previously prepared for 6 members, the two girls are only heard in the refrain.

In the summer of 2005, avex announced the debut of a new pop/eurobeat group consisting of boys and girls who have undergone training in the avex artist academy, the record label's training facility for singers, dancers, and other entertainment talents. Because of this, the group's debut was much anticipated and was received well by many fans. In their debut year, they received the "Best Newcomer Award" at the 47th Japan Record Awards. From September to December they released a single each month plus a photobook and their very first album, Attack, in January 2006. With all the previous advertisement and releases the group did not have time to perform their songs live. However, as each of their singles has a different genre this did not cause a problem with sales.

Misako Uno, the female lead, starred alongside Sarah Michelle Gellar in the Hollywood version of The Grudge 2 in 2006. She played a one of the 3 school girls and all of her lines were in English. After releasing mini album All/2 on September 13, 2006, AAA released their second studio album All on January 1, 2007.

2007–present: Media mix and acting

AAA is also performing the opening for 2007's Kamen Rider, Kamen Rider Den-O and also for Delicious Gakuin. For this single, "Climax Jump," they have temporarily changed their name to AAA Den-O form. The single was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) for the shipment of 100,000 physical singles and 100,000 full-track ringtone music downloads (or Chaku Uta Full) each.

AAA appeared at Otakon 2007 in Baltimore, Maryland.

AAA had their first Oricon weekly number 1 single in 2008 with "Mirage." AAA also appeared on the theaters and Nishijima manifested interest in the acting. He appeared in the film Love Exposure, which was the first film for him to play the main role. He performed cross-dressing in the film and eventually won the Sponichi Grand Prix New Face Award of the year 2009 on January 19, 2010. AAA's new single "Aitai Riyū/Dream After Dream (Yume Kara Sameta Yume)" topped the Oricon weekly charts in May 2010, becoming their second number 1 single on the charts.

PERFUME

Perfume (パフューム ,Pafyūmu) adalah trio wanita penyanyi Jepang beraliran teknopop asal Prefektur Hiroshima yang dibentuk tahun 2001. Sejak tahun 2003, trio ini ditangani produser Yasutaka Nakata, pendiri grup capsule dan pemilik label rekaman Contemode.

Singel "Polyrhythm" yang dirilis tahun 2007 menjadi singel pertama mereka yang masuk urutan 10 besar Oricon. Album Game yang dirilis 16 April 2008 sampai di urutan pertama tangga album Oricon di minggu pertama peredarannya. Prestasi serupa oleh grup teknopop hanya pernah dicapai Yellow Magic Orchestra (Y.M.O), 24 tahun 11 bulan sebelumnya

Trio ini diberi nama Perfume karena nama ketiga anggota pendirinya sama-sama memiliki aksara kanji untuk "ka" atau "kō" (香 ) yang dipakai untuk menulis kata "kōsui" (parfum). Menurut ketiga anggotanya, "Parfum dapat menenangkan sekaligus menyenangkan orang. Keberadaan kami ingin seperti layaknya parfum."

Anggota

Ayano Ōmoto (大本彩乃) alias Nocchi (のっち)
Lahir: Prefektur Hiroshima, 20 September 1988

Ōmoto lahir dan dibesarkan di Hiroshima, Hiroshima, Jepang di mana ia menghadiri Hiroshima Aktor Sekolah dengan teman dan saat ini Parfum anggota Ayaka Nishiwaki dan Yuka Kashino. Dia ditempatkan di kelas maju untuk menyanyi, sementara Nishiwaki dan Kashino berada di kelas pemula.

Dia bergabung dengan kelompok ini pada 2001, menggantikan anggota ketiga asli Yuka Kawashima, yang meninggalkan kelompok untuk fokus pada sekolah-nya. Pada tahun 2002, ia muncul dalam iklan untuk Johnson & Johnson.


Yuka Kashino (樫野有香) alias Kashiyuka (かしゆか)
Lahir: Prefektur Hiroshima, 23 Desember 1988

Kashino lahir dan besar di Hiroshima, Jepang di mana ia menghadiri Hiroshima Aktor Sekolah dengan teman dan saat ini Parfum anggota Ayaka Nishiwaki dan Ayano Ōmoto. Dia dan Nishiwaki adalah dua anggota yang asli Parfum.

Kashino dan Nishiwaki dibentuk pada tahun 2001 Parfum dengan mantan anggota Yuka Kawashima, yang meninggalkan segera setelah fokus pada sekolah-nya. Ketika Ōmoto bergabung Parfum, setelah diminta oleh Nishiwaki, kedua belum pernah bertemu.


Ayaka Nishiwaki (西脇綾香) alias A~chan (あ〜ちゃん)
Lahir: Prefektur Hiroshima, 15 Februari 1989

Nishiwaki lahir dan dibesarkan di Hiroshima, Hiroshima, Jepang di mana dia menghadiri Hiroshima Aktor Sekolah dengan teman dan saat ini anggota Yuka Kashino Parfum dan Ayano Ōmoto.

Dia terbentuk pada tahun 2001 dengan Parfum Kashino dan mantan anggota Yuka Kawashima, yang meninggalkan segera setelah fokus pada sekolah-nya. Setelah membahas masalah ini dengan ibunya, yang percaya bahwa kelompok tiga potong memiliki panggung lebih dari duo, Nishiwaki meminta Ōmoto untuk bergabung dengan grup.

muda nya kakak Sayaka adalah anggota kelompok "9nine".

Di antara ketiganya tidak ada yang bertindak sebagai pemimpin. Posisi sewaktu bernyanyi juga tidak ditentukan dengan pasti, salah satu dari ketiganya bergiliran berada di tengah.

Karier
Era idol lokal di Hiroshima

Tahun 1999, Ayaka Nishiwaki, Yuka Kashino, dan Yuka Kawashima diterima di sekolah pemandu bakat Actor's School Hiroshima yang dikelola Televisi Shin-Hiroshima. Pada tahun 2000, atas inisiatif sendiri, mereka bertiga di sekolah membentuk unit bernama Perfume (ぱふゅ〜む ,Pafyu~mu) yang ditulis dengan hiragana. Tak lama kemudian Kawashima berhenti sekolah dan keluar dari Perfume. Sekarang ia menjadi anggota grup Risky dengan memakai nama Yuka.

Musim panas tahun 2001, Ayano Ōmoto diajak untuk bergabung, dan mereka bertiga membentuk formasi Perfume seperti sekarang. Pada waktu itu mereka masih berusia antara 13 dan 12 tahun. Bulan Maret 2002, mereka melakukan debut sebagai idol dengan singel indie, "Omajinai ★Perori" di bawah Momiji Label milik sekolah, dan mulai aktif sebagai grup idol lokal di Hiroshima. Produser sekaligus pencipta lagu mereka adalah pemusik Pappara Kawai. Tempat manggung mulai dari toko rekaman, pusat perbelanjaan, hingga acara seperti Festival Bunga Hiroshima, Festival Bunga Fukushima, keramaian tingkat distrik, dan Bon Odori di pusat pertokoan. Acara televisi Hiroshima Manten Mama!!, 21 Maret 2003 adalah penampilan terakhir mereka sebagai grup idol Hiroshima. Pada waktu itu mereka memeriahkan acara menanam tanaman rempah-rempah dan pertunjukan memotong ikan tuna di lokasi rumah contoh.

Era indie di Tokyo

Musim semi 2003, ketiga anggota Perfume pindah ke Tokyo. Mereka waktu itu masih kelas 3 Sekolah Menengah Pertama. Agen artis yang menangani mereka di Tokyo adalah Amuse Inc. yang masih berafiliasi dengan Actor's School Hiroshima. Walaupun sudah cukup dikenal di Hiroshima, mereka kembali menjadi bagian dari proyek Bee-Hive, program pelatihan artis wanita pendatang baru oleh Amuse Inc. Sejak itu pula, nama trio ini ditulis dengan huruf latin menjadi Perfume.

Singel perdana Perfume adalah "Sweet Donuts" di bawah label indie Bee-Hive Record. Sebagai produser musik adalah Yasutaka Nakata dari grup capsule. Di bawah arahan Nakata, Perfume tidak lagi ditampilkan sebagai grup idol, melainkan sebagai grup teknopop. Penulis lagu untuk mereka waktu itu adalah seorang wanita bernama Kinoki.

Singel "Vitamin Drop" yang dirilis September 2004 menjadi lagu tema iklan permainan video Densetsu no Stafy 3 untuk Game Boy Advance dari Nintendo. Di Hiroshima Perfume sempat manggung di Festival Musim Gugur Istana Hiroshima, 2-3 Oktober 2004. Mereka berusaha keras untuk menjadi terkenal. Di antaranya, mereka berulang kali manggung pusat perbelanjaan Sun Street Kameido yang dikenal sebagai tempat manggung idol baru, dan di tepi jalan di Akihabara, 31 Maret 2005.

Musim panas tahun 2005, Perfume ikut tampil dalam acara "Akihabalove" yang diproduksi Haruko Momoi dalam bentuk unit baru Perfume x DJ momo-i. Acara tersebut diadakan sehubungan dengan kegiatan Uchimizu Daisakusen! 2005, sebuah acara menyiram air di jalan-jalan kawasan Akihabara untuk menyejukkan udara musim panas.

Lagu baru mereka dengan judul "Night Flight", digunakan untuk lagu tema iklan Eskimo Pino. Layaknya lagu "Secret secret" pada Album "GAME" yang sebelumnya juga digunakan untuk iklan Eskimo Pino (Sebuah Es Jepang).

Era label mayor

Singel perdana Perfume dengan label mayor adalah "Linear Motor Girl" yang dirilis Tokuma Japan, 21 September 2005. Yasutaka Nakata dari capsule bertindak sebagai produser. Kalau sebelumnya Perfume era indie tampil dalam busana berwarna-warni, dalam video musik kali ini, mereka tampil dalam busana dengan warna dasar serba hitam. Perfume berubah menjadi "unit teknopop futuristik". Video musik "Linear Motor Girl" dibuat dengan mengikuti film The Fifth Element.

Pada 11 Januari 2006, Perfume merilis singel "Computer City" yang langsung menempati urutan ke-45 Oricon. Sejak singel itu pula, Yasutaka Nakata bertindak pencipta lagu dan penulis lirik bagi Perfume. Bulan Juli 2007, mereka sudah mempunyai acara sendiri di televisi, PappappappappappapPerfume (パッパッパッパッパッパッPerfume). Album pertama mereka, Perfume ~Complete Best~ dirilis 2 Agustus 2005 dan sampai di urutan 19 Oricon. Selanjutnya, 20 Desember 2005 dirilis lagu "Twinkle Snow Powdery Snow" untuk peredaran terbatas di Internet.

Selama 4 minggu yang dimulai 28 Maret 2007, lagu-lagu Perfume mulai sering diputar di acara radio Oh! My Radio yang dibawakan Kaela Kimura. Lagu-lagu Perfume didengar sutradara film iklan yang berniat memakai Perfume sebagai bintang iklan. Dewan Periklanan Jepang dan NHK memakai Perfume dan lagu "Polyrhythm" untuk iklan promosi daur ulang. Iklan daur ulang yang dibintangi Perfume ditayangkan televisi seluruh Jepang mulai 1 Juli 2007. Hasilnya, lagu "Polyrhythm" menjadi lagu Perfume pertama yang masuk urutan 10 besar Oricon.

Pada 11 Agustus 2007, Perfume tampil dalam festival rock musim panas "Summer Sonic". Bulan berikutnya, 12 September 2007, "Polyrhythm" dirilis sebagai singel. Tahun 2007 diakhiri Perfume dengan mengadakan konser malam tahun baru di Zepp Tokyo.

Singel "Baby cruising Love / Macaroni" yang dirilis 16 Januari 2008 sampai di urutan nomor satu Oricon. Klub penggemar yang diberi nama P.T.A.(Perfume To Anata) mulai dibuka 14 Februari 2008. Ketiga anggota Perfume juga mendaftarkan diri sebagai anggota klub penggemar.

Album Game dirilis 16 April 2008. Album ini laku 154 ribu keping di minggu pertama peredarannya, dan langsung menempati urutan pertama Oricon.Konser keliling Perfume First Tour "Game", berlangsung 27 April hingga 1 Juni 2008. Dimulai dari Zepp Osaka, konser berlangsung 11 kali di 10 arena.

FLOW

Flow (stylized as FLOW) is a Japanese rock band, a part of Sony Music Japan's Ki/oon Records label. Flow is a five-piece band made up of two vocalists, a drummer, a bassist and a guitarist. As of spring 2009, the band has released twenty-two singles and five albums.

History

Flow is a five-piece Japanese rock band made up of two vocalists, a drummer, a bassist and a guitarist. The group's base was created in 1993 when brothers Kōshi (elder: vocals) and Take (younger: guitar) began playing together. They formed Flow in 1998, and were eventually joined by Keigo (vocals), Gotō (bass) and Iwasaki (drums; joined in 2000). In 2001, the band released its first maxi single, "Flow #0". The group then released two mini-albums within the same year, both of which took nationwide indie charts by storm. "Okuru Kotoba", Flow's first cover single, was released in January 2003. It remained on the Oricon indie chart for seven consecutive weeks and also hit an impressive #6 on the overall singles chart. In the spring of that year, their first full-scale album Splash!!! debuted at #2. In July 2003, Flow released the single "Blaster" on a major label, Ki/oon Records. In April 2004, they released "Go!!!", which stayed on the Oricon Top 10 Chart for three weeks. In May 2004, Flow released their first major album Game.

A string of singles followed and in July 2005 the band released its third album, Golden Coast. Since the release of Golden Coast, Flow has released two singles with new A-sides, but one of these ("Around the World/Kandata") was a double A-side release. "Colors" is the band's fourth single. The songs "Go!!!" and "Re:member" both served as opening themes to the anime series Naruto. "Days" was the first opening for Bones' Eureka Seven anime, and "Realize" was the opening for the PlayStation 2 video games based on the same series. Flow performed live in America for the first time in Dallas, Texas on September 2, 2006 at Anime Fest which was held at the Hyatt Hotel and Convention center in downtown Dallas. Flow performed "Colors" in 2006, the first opening for Sunrise's original series, Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion. Their song "Answer" is the first opening theme for the live action Japanese drama Tantei Gakuen Q. They performed "Night Parade" with the hip-hop band Home Made Kazoku. In February 2008, they released a new single entitled "Arigatō", followed by Persona -trinity soul-'s new opening, "Word of the voice" in June 2008. They performed Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2's second opening theme "World End" released in 2008. In 2009, the band performed "Sign", the sixth opening for Naruto Shippuden. The band released a B-side compilation album on November 4, 2009. Their single "Calling" will be featured as the ending for the anime Heroman.
