the brilliant green (colloquially known as BuriGuri) is a Japanese alternative rock band from
Kyoto that formed in 1995. Their major debut single under
Sony,
Bye Bye Mr. Mug, was released in 1997. The band are most famous for their singles
There will be love there -Ai no Aru Basho- (dorama
Love Again's theme song),
Tsumetai Hana and
Sono Speed de (drama
OVERTIME theme song). In 2001 The Brilliant Green were named in
Time Magazine's '10 Best Bands on Planet Earth' article, alongside
Radiohead and
U2. All of The Brilliant Green's songs feature lyrics from Kawase Tomoko, while the majority songs (including all single A-sides) were composed by Okuda Shunsaku. Matsui Ryo composed the rest of the songs. Vocalist
Kawase Tomoko has also released solo work under the pseudonyms Tommy february6 and Tommy heavenly6.
After the release of this album (The Winter album?), the band went on an unexplained hiatus. Kawase started releasing music under her Tommy february6 moniker again (including releases under a new stage name, the more rocky "Tommy heavenly6"). During the hiatus, the members got married. Matsui got married to a designer of silver jewellery on the 29th of July, 2003, and on the 22nd of November bandmates Kawase and Okuda married each other.
Matsui started a solo project in 2004, under the name Meister (featuring collaborations with such artists as
Bonnie Pink).
In 2007, the band are making a comeback for their 10th anniversary. During Kawase's Heavy Starry Tour '07, her bandmates featured as support members, prompting rumours among fans. Their come-back single, titled
Stand by me, is used as the ending theme song for the drama
Tantei Gakuen Q starting on July the third. At the end of the year there are plans for a 'best of' album for the band
