アリス九號. (alice nine.) is one of the fastest growing Japanese indie bands, which consist of five young members, ranging from ages 21-26: Shou as vocalist, Hiroto and Tora on guitars, Saga on bass, and Nao on drums. The boys from alice nine. are signed to a well-known record label, PS Company (also a label for Miyavi, Gazette, Kagrra, and Kra). The band started out as an indies band (and still are), but they gained popularity after a couple of live performances.
alice nine. was formed by Nao, the drummer, in April 2004. Their first live was held at Ikebukuro Cyber in May 11, 2004. After a few lives, they started small tours with the boys from other j-indies and major bands band such as Ayabie, Karen, Kagrra, Kra, and BIS. From August 08 to August 31, 2005, alice nine. had their first ever solo performance for their many fans in Japan. Aside from the lives, they sold many of their singles and mini albums. Their first ever copy they sold was a Maxi single Namae wa, Mada Muhi, with two songs Time Machine and Hana Ichi Monme, released on July 05, 2004. Soon they released other records such as Gion Shouja no Kane ga Naru, Gin no Tsuki, Kuroi Hoshi, Yami ni Chiru Sakura, and Yuri wa Aoku Saite. The boys' music is finally recognized by almost everyone now, and they are considered a semi-major band. alice nine pretty soon came up with Alice in Wonderland, and filmed their live for their DVD called Alice in Wonderfilm. Recently, they have released three singles: Kowloon -Nine Heads Rodeo Show-, Fantasy, Akatsuki/Ikuoko no Chandelier. Their first full length album, Zekkeishoku, was released April 26, 2006.
