Official The Kiddie Support Germany

BIOGRAPHY

After the unexpected disbanding of the young band Kazoku, vocalist Yusa and drummer Yuu (now called Yuudai) decided to stick together and create a new band. Along with their former bandmate Jun, Yuusei (ex-Maruru) and Sorao (ex-Shelly ~Jazz Rock Children~), they officially formed THE KIDDIE in May 2007. The band opened their official site that same month, keeping the fans excited with a preview of the song, Ao until they played their first live on July 1st at Meguro Rockmaykan.

The band kept themselves busy playing a number of concerts over the next few months, until they released their first single, Little SENOBI, on October 3rd. The single, limited to 1000 copies, sold out on pre-orders alone and hit the 14th spot on the Oricon Indies chart. They played two further concerts in October and announced their first one-man live, SHIBUYA BRAND NEW WAVE, which took place at SHIBUYA BOXX on December 7th. The group finished the year by playing in an event held by Bergerac at Shibuya O-WEST.

2008 saw the release of the second press of Little SENOBI in January, with an additional track entitled in one sense. The CD sold even more copies leading to further Oricon success for the band. THE KIDDIE also began to join events organized by the labels SPEEDDISK, PS COMPANY and S’CUBE, and the KYpresents [Interpersonal Relationship] tour'08 tour, which consisted of three concerts.

In March, THE KIDDIE released their second single, Plastic Art to greater commercial success. They decided to spend the few next months playing lives and taking part in many tours, such as Burning circus, FREE STREET RUSH vol.3 and Royal Party. In October, the band released their third single, Sayonara Setsuna, their most successful yet, which hit the 5th position on the Oricon Indies chart. They also held the Mangoose tour, which ended with their second one-man concert, the curiously titled vs Mangoose at Omotesando FAB on the 19th October. The group ended 2008 with lives, including the traditional New Year’s Eve event stylish wave COUNTDOWN'08-'09 at Yokohama Akarenga Hall.

With their catchy and upbeat pop-rock sound, and casual yet stylish looks, THE KIDDIE certainly has much more to offer. Not afraid to experiment with different kinds of sounds either, after a powerful start THE KIDDIE's bright future is surely something to watch closely.
