Speena

Speena was a two-person (previously three-person) group on the avex trax label. They debuted in 2000 with the single “Calm Soul,” and have released a total of five albums since then, their latest being “Ninnananna” in January 2007. In mid-2005, speena’s drummer Shouko left the group to persue her own projects; the group then consisted of vocalist Kanako and guitarist Shiho.

In June of 2007, Kanako and Shiho announced that they would be “transforming” into Yvonne Sisters. The speena name will no longer be used. Yvonne Sisters currently have no releases planned, although a sample song on their official homepage does offer a preview of what their first song may sound like.

Speena’s music is typically very cute and upbeat, although they do have several serious ballads (such as “Jirenma” and “Tsuki ni Naku”). They are most likely to appeal to fans of artists like YUKI, GO!GO!7188, Puppy Pet, muramasa, and Whiteberry. · close
