Alice Nine

Alice Nine were an exemplary J-rock music group, combining some large guitars with pop hooks, emotional performing, and an over-all ’80s rock impact, as well seeing that the “visual kei” picture, i actually.e., eccentric and complex outfits and haircuts to become flashed in promo shoots. Nevertheless, unlike many rings from the genre, e.g., UVERworld and L’Arc-en-Ciel, they didn’t simply waltz towards the Oricon graphs directly from university or senior high school: Alice Nine had been produced in 2004 by music artists who already acquired professional knowledge, collecting members from the defunct Givuss, aswell as folks from several other rings. The group after that signed to an unbiased label and kicked off its profession by large touring with labelmates and launching limited-edition singles. By 2006, Alice Nine acquired three mini-albums out and performed across the entire country, as well as the efforts began to pay back: both music off their double-A-side one Akatsuki/Ikuoku no Chandelier managed to get towards the credits from the anime series Meine Liebe, and their initial LP, Zekkeishoku, reached number 4 in the nationwide daily graphs. This achievement led the majors to arrive calling, as well as the music group was quickly purchased by King Information. In 2007 these were invited to execute on the Jrock Trend festival in LA; through the same calendar year the one “Tsubasa” (Wings) established an archive for the music group, scoring amount six in the Oricon graphs, and their main debut LP, Alpha, implemented. Even the damage of guitarist Tora, who emerged down using a hernia in early 2008, didn’t end Alice Nine for very long, and they continued touring, also liberating the solitary “Reflection Ball,” that was used in the state soundtrack of japan movie Aquarian Age group. Their third recording, Vandalize, adopted early in ’09 2009; onto it, they continuing to build up their own special style, having a few big figures that bore much U2 impact. Both Alpha and Vandalize had been released in European countries from the German label CLJ. This year 2010 Alice Nine parted organization with King Information and visited Tokuma Japan Marketing communications, among Japan’s biggest brands. Their debut recording for the label, 2011’s Gemini, an effective attempt to additional establish their personal design, was a massive-sounding, grandiose work with much impact of ’70s intensifying and hard rock and roll. Perhaps conscious that it could have already been rather a surprise to their enthusiasts’ systems, within the 2012 follow-up, 9, they retreated relatively to their previously sound, offering shorter, poppier tracks.
