Imagine unexpectedly meeting a beautiful purple rose in the midst of a wasteland. Mana Wakabayashi did just that. While participating in her past project, PLIME, each member decided to choose their own image color and Mana chose purple . She was introduced to the purple rose Blue Bajou by a photographer and the impact of that unexpected meeting became the origin and inspiration of the new band MANA meets Blue Bajou.
MANA meets Blue Bajou formed in January of 2007 and immediately started activity in the live music circuit, bringing together many different musicians and eventually became the team project name for Mana's music in September of the same year.
