Band Line Up : (from left) Kazuto(Lead Guitarist), Yuusuke(Vocal), Sassy(Drummer), Halca(New Vocal!), mACKAz(Bass) and Meg(Rhythm Guitarist)I think most of the people who watch animes would know this band....Starting with their history....High and Mighty Color (ハイ・アンド・マイティ・カラー) established in 2003, Okinawa is a well known japanese rock band for otaku(japanese term anime freak) and others as well...they're often familiarized for the hit single in their first album PRIDE that can be heard on the opening theme of the anime GUNDAM SEED DESTINY....other than that, many animes and movies such as Death Note, Darker Than Black often used their song..however their new albums copies that was sold are not in a satisfactory level...their 2008 album ''ROCK PIT" became the lowest selling album in the band's history. And in The same year...Vocalist named Makii was announced that she had married to DREAMS COME TRUE singer MASATO NAKAMURA on June 2008 and planned to leave the band to start a family.... O.O Shit Happens Sometimes!
While in 2009..After the departure of Mākii, the band began auditions for a replacement vocalist, the auditions were open to women for a month before call backs and performances were done. On Febuary of 2009, the band announced that a replacement vocalist was found, whose information can be found on website.The band plans to begin working on a summer single and live tour to promote the new vocalist in May.
I've visited japanese world of rock blog and i've seen many bloggers express their sadness and dissapointment of the departure of female singer makii and married to a man that is 23 or 25 years older than the girl...omg..and there some criticism about the marriage..well as a fan what we can do is just pray for their happines :-S ...anyway makii stated in the official website that she thanked her fellow band members and all of the fans that continue to support her and the group for a long time.A special event was planned for Mākii's graduation from the band as well as at least one more single before she left the band. We will miss you makii!!
