ViViD BIOGRAPHY
Breaking many records and speeding up at the velocity of sound, the quintet, ViViD will change the world!
March 2009, somewhere in Tokyo where the Japanese cherries were blossoming all over, IV(bass) who now is famous for the masculine body with 5 percent of body fat, at that time was just an innocent boy with the impressively wide eyes, met an ambitious teenager, Ko-ki(drums) who didn’t get along with the kids of the same age and always hung with the adults.Even though then there were only 2 of them, they decided to form a band for purpose of “to reach the very top of Japanese music scene”, and knocked on the door of the legendary management office, PS COMPANY which had been dealing with many, so-called “Visual-kei” artists who had the very strong visual impacts. The charismatic female entrepreneur who signed them immediately, now looking back says “Something just clicked in my mind at the very first meeting.”
After that, like being drawn by a magnet, Reno(guitar) who always sticks with the guitar and practices in every moment when he has a chance, Ryoga(guitar) who is called “the Jack-knife of Kita-Kanto(the center part of Japan, to the north of Tokyo)” from his looks but actually sleeps in every moment when he has a chance, and Shin(vocal) who has the natural innocence of a fool as well as extraordinaire talent as the vocalist and inborn good appearance, joined the two. Instantly five guys hit it off with one another. Holding up “Melodic Mixture Rock” as their band concept, they decided to call themselves “ViViD” which represented their wish to keep shining by utilizing each one’s individuality.
In April, they performed the first show at Takadanobaba AREA, the venue which was considered as the gateway to success for the “Visual-kei” bands. On July 8th, they released the debut single ”Take-off” from the independent label, which entered the independent chart at No.2. After that, all three singles which they released in a row debuted at No.1 on the Indie chart.
On November 7th, they performed the 1st headline show called “THE ViViD COLOR”(sold out) at Shibuya 0-West(capacity of 600), and on March 30th 2010, 2nd headline show called “SIGNET TO THE FUTURE”(sold out) at Ebisu Liquidroom(capacity of 800). In July, they were invited to the biggest Japanese cultural event “JAPAN EXPO 2010” which took place in Paris, France even though they had not debuted in France yet, performed in front of the audience of 10,000 who came from all over Europe and stole the show. After coming back to Japan, the single “PRECIOUS” released on July 7th entered the Oricon Major Chart(National Chart in Japan) at No.15.
In August, they announced the forthcoming major label debut at SHIBUYA-AX(capacity of 1400), the 3rd headline show called “DAY OF AWAKING”. The tickets for the last headline show as the indie band, called “KO-SAI GENESIS” at Shibuya C. C. Lemon Hall(capacity of 1800) on December 27th which was announced at the same show, were all sold out within one hour. The calls for their tickets have been getting bigger and bigger in a very short period of time.
January 19th 2011, they released the major debut single “Yume(dream)~Mugen-no-Kanata(beyond the infinity)” from Epic Records which made an amazing start, entering the Oricon Weekly Chart at No.6. Now they are going to start the 1st nationwide headlining tour “DEAR…ViViD COLORS” at Hibiya Outdoor Music Hall (Capacity of 2500) on May 15th. It’s said that the band which has the biggest possibility to perform at Japan Budokan and Tokyo Dome in near future is this five-piece, ViViD. And you can expect more…

成員簡介
【主唱 Shin(Shin)】
充滿成熟男人魅力的主唱。
以其迷人的外表和出類拔萃的歌唱才能,加之在現場音樂會上的卓越表現,當仁不讓地成為樂隊的核心。在音樂方面,無論是說唱、抒情曲還是硬搖滾風格亦或通俗唱法,都能表現自如,表演範圍寬闊。在作曲方面善長編寫余韻繞梁讓人過耳難忘的曲子。多為樂隊其他成員所作的歌曲框架上他配旋律,構成了只有他才會具有的獨特的世界觀。不愧是代表ViViD的靈魂式主唱。
【吉他手 零乃(Reno)】
雖外表冷峻深沈,但在舞台上的吉他演奏卻激烈性感,是一位技藝絕妙、善於烘托現場演唱會氛圍的吉他手。在冷峻的外表之下永遠藏著一個積極樂觀的心。此外,在包括音響等諸多方面都是ViViD的帶頭人。在作曲方面善長制作以激烈的吉他音型為主的曲調或幽怨的旋律。是ViViD的隊長。
【吉他手 伶我(Ryoga)】
在現場演唱會上通過一邊彈出厚重的聲音一邊以多彩的音色渲染出獨特的空間,總是以其深沈的表演讓現場的觀眾如醉如癡。在作曲方面,善長以其獨特的世界觀制作以吉他為主旋律的樂曲。在性格上非常具有男子漢的氣概,但卻又似乎隨時做好了被人調侃的準備,因此雖然外表冷峻深沈但卻同時讓人感到親切。
【貝斯手 IV(IV)】
雖然性格天真活潑但在現場演唱會上卻比誰都激烈,釋放出絕對的存在感。 在作曲方面,無論是激烈的曲目,還是輕快、抒情甚至純日本風格的旋律,都順手拈來,創作面廣泛。曾公開表示不善言談,因此在現場演唱會上往往話語不多,但無論是粉絲還是樂隊成員都把他看成是小弟弟一個,對其喜愛有加。在成員中個頭最小,但同時也是肌肉最發達的一個。
【鼓手 Ko-ki】
張揚的外表和誇張笑容自成風格,是一位個性化鼓手。在作曲方面善長將DJ及說唱等融匯在一起的數碼音效及激烈的曲調。同時還擔任ViViD的視覺創意及藝術作品、紀念品等業務,範圍廣闊。有時還會流露出調皮的一面,是個頗招人喜歡的人物。
2009年3月結成。Ba.イヴとDr.Ko-kiを中心に作ったユニットの元に、Gt.零乃、怜我とVo.シンが加わり現在のメンバー構成に至る。Melodix Mixture Rockをコンセプトに、ラップやハードな曲調でミクスチャー要素も融合させたサウンドが特徴。
驚異的なライブ動員増加を記録している。バンド名の「ViViD」は「鮮やか・まばゆい」という言葉で、メンバー一人一人の個性を大切にして輝き続けるという意味を込めて命名。
2009年7月8日にシングル「Take-off」でインディーズデビュー。インディーズチャート初登場2位を獲得する。以降、三作連続でインディーズチャートでは初登場1位を獲得。
2010年7月にリリースした最新シングル「PRECIOUS」はオリコンメジャーチャートで初登場15位にランクイン。また、同じ7月にはデビュー前にも関わらずフランス・パリで行われた日本最大のカルチャーフェス「JAPAN EXPO 2010」に招待され、約1万人の前でパフォーマンスをした。
