In 2000, the lead singer & Guitarist Osamu Seino
formed the band called Onepercentres with his three friends who have
known each other for a long time. They met while playing in the local
clubs. They have been influenced by many kinds of bands and enjoyed
playing music in styles of their own influences. At first, they
concentrated on writing their songs based on the "power-pop" style in
the studio. And at that time, they had been focusing on their own
feelings and their concepts to make their own POWERPOP eventhough the
arrangements were not good though. It took quite long to have their
own style of song composing, but it was not time wasting! They
achieved more than they expected! You know what!? Then they thought
it must be time to start playing in public, they started touring
constantly and heavily! They released two MAXI-Singles and one single
through their own label named Millionaire Recordings in four years.
Songs came easy to them once they were in the studio.
At the beginning of 2004, the band teamed up with the one and only
powerpop label called Wizzard In Vinyl then things were going much
better than before. The first co-operation with Wizzard In Vinyl was
distributing the mini album "currently". The result has been quite
good since it has stayed in a Tower Records chart for a while.
Sometime in 2004, the original drummer left the band and the band got
a new one called den den. In late 2005, they finally released their
first full length album named "PLATINUM BUNDLE". And then they went on
tour with a Swedish band called "Hawaii Mud Bombers" and a Spanish
band called "Suzy & Los Quattro". Both bands were blown away because
of Onepercentres' live performances. After those intense tours, their
reputation got much better! And also they got a Spanish deal. Now
Onepercentres has been on the road to promote the album Platinum
Bundle. This tour is planned to play 40 shows in about 4 months. After
that, they'll go to Spain to tour in two weeks and play shows at the
International Pop Overthrow Liverpool.
