1. Band Profile
Ikimono-gakari (いきものがかり) is a Japanese Rock Band formed in 1999. They have ever released out 3 indie albums under the Cubit Club music records and finally join to the Sony Music. In 2006, together with "mihimiru GT", they was chosen as Young Guns in Music Station event.
This band consisting of 1 girl and 2 boys, and similar to the well-known artist in Japan, Do As Infinity. They are Kiyoe Yoshioka (Vocals), Hotaka Yamashita (Guitar, Harmonic), Yoshiki Mizuno (Guitar, vocals). The first song which I have heard from Ikimono Gakari is Blue Bird that has been used as 3rd opening for Naruto Shippuden Anime Series.
Almost of every songs by this pop/rock genre group, is use Harmonica musical instruments.
Perhaps it may to be a characteristics and icon of this band eventually.
Their first meeting began when Hotaka and Yoshiki was still in Elementary School and both of them had a nickname called ikimono gakari. On February 1999, they founded a band called Ikimono Gakari, exactly after they entered the same school, Atsugi College. Their live performance began by Street Busker, and from house to house. A few months later, Kiyoe who is the younger brother of their classmate, joined to this band. But then, they left from the band activity, because have to finish their study and go to the university.
Because many of their concerts in the street, finally the band became well-known in their region, so attracting attention to the indie record company Thunder Snake on June 2003. And Ikimono Gakari got a chance to take a part in Atsugi Thunder Snake event.
On March 2007, they released studio album entitled Sakura Saku Machi Monogatari.
