Eight (sometimes typeset as √eight or THE EIGHT) was a Japanese visual kei rock band from Hokkaido. They were formed in 2004 by Nachi and Kyotaro after Nachi's previous band Werkmare had disbanded. The band used to be signed to Nachi's own label, Relative+Heart. They disbanded in early 2010. ==Biography== Eight was formed by guitarist Nachi (ex-Werkmare) and vocalist Kyotaro(ex-Volark) in 2004, who were soon joined by bassist Mukku (also ex-Werkmare) and drummer Mitsuru (ex-ArcAdiA). Soon after the formation they released two Demo-CDs, followed by another Demo-CD in 2005 as well as several DVDs and contributions to V.A.-releases, most of these independently released. Guitarist Nachi and bassist Mukku were support members of Japanese punk band Anti Feminism during 2007, and Nachi and drummer Mitsuru have been support members of Japanese rock band The Piass from 2009 on. In 2006 they released their first album, Illational, which was co-produced by Kenzi of Japanese punk band Anti Feminism. At the end of the year they released two more DVDs which showed their tour finals in Sapporo. In 2007 the band was joined by guitarist Ryo (ex-Since1889), and the name of the band was changed to THE EIGHT. They spoke of releasing a new album in late 2007, but this was never realised due to vocalist Kyotaro leaving the band in December to join Black:List. In December 2008, the band Black:List disbanded, and vocalist Kyotaro has decided to retire from music entirely due to family issues.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=shattered-tranquility.net )〕 Shortly after vocalist Kyotaro's leave, guitarist Ryo also left the band. In August 2008, female vocalist U (ex-Low Head Machine) joined the band.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=THE EIGHT blog )〕 In June 2009, drummer Mitsuru temporarily left the band due to injuries.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=THE EIGHT blog )〕 THE EIGHT used a support drummer, Jun, until drummer Mitsuru returned in August 2009, the band's fifth anniversary. On December 24, 2009, the announcement was made that the band would disband after their live show on January 17, 2010. Since then, guitarist Nachi and drummer Mitsuru have become members for Japanese punk rock band The Piass, and bassist Mukku also played as a support member for The Piass in 2010. Kyotaro briefly joined Japanese band Kanabun on guitar in 2010, and formed the band Cockroach in 2011. Nachi, Mukku and Mitsuru have also formed a new band, Haze, similar to eight. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eight (Japanese band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
