Band history: Shin is probably best known for his activities as the vocalist of 秋葉原少年団☆電脳ロメオ (Akihabara Shounendan☆Dennou Romeo). Dennou Romeo was formed in April of 2006, and they were around for almost two years until they disbanded in January 2008. During these two years Dennou Romeo released two maxi-singles, one two-song single and one live-only single which contained only one song.

Almost a year passed after Dennou Romeo disbanded until Shin got into a new band. Rhyolite was formed in December 2008, and the member line-up was extremely promising; the other members were 夢時 (Yumeji) from メロ (Mello), つかさ (Tsukasa) from bis, and MINAMI from MASK. Unfortunately, however, Rhyolite disbanded after only three months of activities, in January 2009. Two months after this, Shin joined ViViD.

Band history: Reno's first known band was NoveLis, who also gained popularity quite quickly in their time. Just like so many other bands in this scene, however, NoveLis wasn't around for a very long time; they were formed in February 2007, and went on activity pause in September 2008. All the members except for the keyboard player 櫻 (Sakura) left the band, which resulted in an indefinite activity pause. Despite the short-livedness of the band, however, they released three maxi-singles, two one-song singles, and a full album.

After NoveLis, Reno was active in a session band called 株式会社タスキンコ (Kabushikigaisha Tasukinko) under the name 佐藤 (Satou), and played in some other session bands such as IV宮Ko-kiの憂鬱 (IV miya Ko-ki no Yuuutsu). For a couple months around December 2008, Reno was also the support guitarist for Hi:BRiD, a band formed by former members of GHOST. Reno left Hi:BRiD to join ViViD in March.

Band history: Before he joined ViViD, Ryouga was in fact called さち (Sachi). He started out by joining his friend's band M.cry as the support guitarist in June 2008, but he left the band already in October. (Actually, M.cry wasn't exactly his first band, but since he's keeping his first band secret I naturally can't mention the band's name here. D: ) Around the same time, he was doing lives with a session band called 大胸筋矯正サポーターズ (Daikyou Kinkyousei Supporters), whose other members were shyena from DragonWAPPPPPPER, ざくろ (Zakuro) from NOIR and ゆき (Yuki) and りょう (Ryou) from M.cry. This session band had their last live in November 2008.

Around this time, Sachi spent a short period of time as the roadie for 少女-ロリヰタ-23区 (Lolita23q). However, soon he joined IV and Ko-ki's time-limited unit ZiL, who had their first live on January 8, 2009. Ever since the beginning, they had decided that they will do only five lives as ZiL, and then they will have an announcement; and as we know, the announcement was the formation of a new band called ViViD. Sachi changed his name to Ryouga and became ViViD's guitarist.

Band history: IV's first wellknown band was キス&ネイト (Kisnate), formed in October 2007. Kisnate was around until February 2009, but IV left the band already in July 2008. The band released at least three singles during the time IV was their member.

After Kisnate, IV was a support member for 氷男 (Iceman), オーダーメイド (Ordermade)'s vocalist Haru's project, and he occasionally had lives with his and Ko-ki's session band IV宮Ko-kiの憂鬱 (IV miya Ko-ki no Yuuutsu) as well. And then, of course, he formed the time-limited unit ZiL with Ko-ki, and after the five lives they had, ViViD was formed.

I'm not sure when exactly it was, but IV has also been a roadie for 176BIZ. I believe it was around the time when たら (Tara) was still in the band, however, because Tara and IV are good friends and IV still considers Tara his senpai (senior) and says he's the person he respects the most in the world.

1 This phrase is some kind of a famous internet slang phrase, and I'm not sure I understand it very well. D: There's not much use to translate it literally because there's more to it than the literal meaning

Band history: Like Reno, Ko-ki started out in NoveLis. You can read more about NoveLis' history in Reno's band history up there ↑. After NoveLis, Ko-ki did support drums for 氷男 (Iceman), and of course had session lives with his and IV's session band IV宮Ko-kiの憂鬱 (IV miya Ko-ki no Yuuutsu). Then he joined ZiL, and after ZiL came ViViD.

1 He can't smoke yet because he's still a minor.
2 This is something Ko-ki sometimes does in his blog. I don't know how to explain the Japanese cell phone dictionary system well, but if you write these numbers on a Japanese cell phone the right words come up. This one forms the words "あいしてるぜ", "I love you". ]
