HOME MADE KAZOKU
Formed in 1996, HOME MADE KAZOKU consists of three members based in Nagoya; MICRO (MC, 153cm) who grew up in Kentucky USA, KURO (MC, 178cm) who was born in Chicago, and U-ICHI (DJ, 190cm) who was a club DJ. Continuing live performances at Club events in their homeground of Nagoya, they have become great live performers, and also cut a conspicuous figure in the HIPHOP scene. After their debut in May 2004, they launched a series of hit songs, "SUMMER TIME MAGIC" in July, and "AIKOTOBA" in August. Their first full album "ROCK THE WORLD" was released in March 2005, followed by the second album "musication" released on 15th of February 2006. A new and high-profile single "KIMI GA KURETA MONO" will be released on 31st of January, 2007.
STRAIGHTENER
STRAIGHTENER started up in 1998. With their minimalist composition of Guitar & Drums, they have pressed ahead with live performances based around Shibuya and Shimokitazawa. They had an independent release in 2000. In addition to listeners, other contemporary bands also support the dynamic drumming of Nakayama (Drums) who directly beats his gushing emotions and the cool appearance and no-nonsense MC-ing of Horie (Gtr&Vo.) with their heart rending and beautiful melodies coming up from the booming roar. After forming an independent label "ghost records" in 2002, Hidekazu Hinata (Bass./ZAZEN BOYS) was added, and they released a new album "Dear Deadman" on 8th of March, 2006. Participated in "RISING SUN ROCK FES" in August, 2006, and released a new single "SIX DAY WONDER" on 10th of January, 2007! They will also release another single in February.

THE 50 KAITENZ
THE 50 KAITENZ was formed in 2004 in Osaka Rock'n'roll reformatory by 3 Rockin' freaks; a besotted drunkard from Tokushima/Danny (G&Vo), a specter from Izumo/Dory (B&Vo), and a prodigal son from Naniwa/Bogie (D&Vo). Before their debut, they appeared on Fuji TV's program "Factory", and did live shows in New York. The 1st album "50 KAITENZ NO GYA-!!" which was recorded in San Francisco was released on January 2006. They pressed ahead with an Australia tour in March, and costarred with Monsieur Kamayatsu in Fuji TV's program "Our Music" in July. At Fuji Rock Fes, they recorded the highest attendances in the Rookie Stage history, and were called back on the stage for an encore. A CD with 5 songs "1,2,3,4!!" was released in December! The original drummer of the RAMONES, Tommy Ramone also raved about them. Also, they participated in the winter festival, Countdown Japan at Makuhari Messe, and finished up the Moon Stage. Splashing the drastic impact, they are continuing with live performances both at home and abroad. This is the greatest mighty work of this century coming from Osaka!
monsfellow
A music production group, monsfellow was formed in July 2004, consisting of a track maker MOTOKI and 3 MCs, MOTTS, SHIDO, and SHOT-ARROW. They make sounds which are alien to any genre, or any age category, and convert the most beautiful part of music into tangible forms. They attract listeners with "monssound" which shows comfort of extra quality. Before their CD debut, their "It's so high" was featured and released on au mobile (W43CA). This is one of the groups with highest profile. The 1st mini album "DE'MONS'TRATION" which was released in November, 2006 also shows their high skill as a music production group. The "It's so high" was offered to the snowboarder's compilation CD "WHITE OUT3" on December, 2006. Future activities can be also expected.
SERVICE ACE
The melodic core 3 piece band formed in September 2001 consists of RYOUSUKE (G.Vo), KABE (Ba.Vo), and KENBOW (Dr.Vo). It started with the name of "SUNBIZI LIMITED" as a copy band of GREEN DAY, but since they began to make original songs, they have actively been doing live performances based in Sapporo. Selected as a Hokkaido rep of Nakiez Live, and the Nakiez Compilation Album was released around the country, but they were in the process of trial and error for a while. Continuing music productions and live performances, they reached the current style of "HAPPY&POP&PUNK". Changing the name to "SERVICE ACE" and releasing an album with 8 songs "BAD NEWS LIFE" by themselves this year. Their distinguished pop sense and creative and catchy songs lead the audience to a happy world. They will be the latest craze soon.
