■THE BEAT GARDEN
In 2012, U, REI, and MASATO, who met at a music college in Osaka, formed a group.
A week after forming, the band moved to Tokyo and began performing live in and around the city.
Their first full album “WILL”, released as an indie band in February 2015, reached third place on the Oricon indie rankings and sold 7,000 copies in one year.
They have been performing energetically, and in October their one-man live show at Osaka’s BIG CAT was sold out. In December, support DJ SATORU joined as a new member. In February 2016, they released the mini album “Air”.
The solo live show “Live Air 2016,” featuring “Air,” was held at Akasaka Blitz, his largest venue to date, and was a huge success.
They made their major debut on July 27, 2016 with their first single “Never End.”
After the release, they performed at many large summer festivals, including SUMMER SONIC and RISING SUN ROCK FESTIVAL.
The second single “Promise you” was released next and received 56 power plays nationwide. It also reached number one on the radio air monitor chart and the Billboard airplay chart.
