ichigo69

Vocalist Io, formerly of girl, guitarist Yuina, formerly of Grimm and Under, bassist Ren, formerly of Vishnu, and drummer Sora, formerly of CROW, met in September 2004 and formed Ichigo69 the same month. The band then recruited support guitarist Takaya, who had been in Under with Yuina.

With the full line-up in place, the band performed their first concert on October 15th at the Nagoya Heartland alongside other bands such as Sugar Trip and Babylon. They continued to frequent similar events, gaining more and more attention with each performance. On December 29th they released their first maxi-single called Kimi to boku no renai KATEGORII and ended the year with a performance at a popular event at the Takadanobaba AREA.

2005 was almost immediately successful for the band as they landed their first oneman show at the end of January. March and April brought the release of two more maxi-singles, and their first mini-album was released shortly after in August.

Io and Ren formed Holic, which lasted only slightly longer, from February to August. Sora became support drummer for Jaguar before taking his place in meth. in September 2006 and Io replaced vocalist Tomo in the Undercode band Pashya.
