Kohsuke, of AILE
Happy Birthday to Kohsuke, the current drummer of the Jrock Oshare Kei band AILE!!
AILE is a Jrock band composed of Akito on vocals, Tsuyoshi on bass, Kohsuke on drums, and Moe on guitar. AILE has changed its members many times since they emerged onto the music scene in 2002.
AILE appeared in November of 2001, but formed officially in March of 2002 with Akito and former members Hiro and Fumi, guitar and bass players, respectively. They quickly came out with their first demo CD on the 28 of April, and then performed for the first time on the 22 of May. In January of 2003, they acquired drummer Takumi. However, on April 19, the bassist Fumi left the group, and he was briefly replaced by a guitarist name Yu-ki.
The group released 11 singles in 2003, but in January of 2004 they finally found another bassist named Yukkiy. However, shortly after that, in March of 2004, AILE went on a short hiatus. Akito formed another group called Couple d'Ange during the break, which became the new AILE. The three new members were Tsuyoshi, from the band 244, Kosuke, from KOxKO, and Yue.
Sai, a bassist, joined the group in May 2005, and the group released their second and third maxi single, both of which hit the Oricon indie charts at positions #10 and #15. At the end of August, 2006, Yue left the band, and shortly afterward it was announced that Sai would leave as well. In November the band announced at a concert that they would be going on an indefinite break.
In mid-2007 the group reformed again and Moe and A-ya were added to the group as guitarists. However, recently A-ya left the group, and now only four members remain.

AILE is a great band that is sadly underappreciated...I don't have many songs of theirs because no one seems to want to upload them D: But I like their sound. I personally like Oshare Kei more than other types of rap. It's more fun and not so much screaming, and the music videos are pleasant to watch and usually very cute. :3 They have a very light, upbeat sound that I enjoy, though I don't have much to share.

There is no video for this song...sadly...so all I can give you is a description of the song. It's from their Love Feather single, so it's not very new, but it's a fun little song. Upbeat as Oshare songs are, and the vocals are pretty good. I likes. :3
