SuG

SuG (typeset as SuG captioned with Heavy Positive Rock) are an independent Japanese rock band, formed in 2006. They are also part of the visual kei movement of Japan. The band has released one EP and several singles, and as of 2008, the band is signed to "Indie PSC", a subdivision of PS Company.

History

SuG was formed in October 2006 by Takeru, Masato and Yuji who had all been members of another band called Travel, and Shouta. The drummer Mitsuru then joined in November of the same year.

Shouta left the band in February and was replaced by Chiyu on bass. Their first release was "7th Breeze" on the compilation album Cannonball Vol. 03. The band signed to to the visual-kei label PS Company and in August released their first single, "Scheat".

SuG have recently released an EP entitled Love Scream Party. To promote their music outside of Japan, SuG performed at "J-Rock Invasion" in Germany alongside Kagrra, Kra, Alice Nine and Screw who are also signed to CLJ Records, a German label.

Name

The name "SuG" is derived from the transliteration of the English word "thug", written in Japanese as (サグ, Sagu^?). The name is then simplified to the slightly more romantic "Sug".

PROFILE

FLOPPY is a band consisting of Kobayashi Sharaku (The singer of metronome) and Hiromu Toda (The singer of Shinjuku Gewalt).
They make electronic music, which sounds a bit more like Shinjuku Gewalt than metronome.
They mainly use their machintoshes, but Toda also plays on a synthesizer.
To heighten the feeling of electronic game music, Sharaku sings in a modified Famicom Controller.

BIOGRAPHY

The birth of FLOPPY was sometime in the late summer/autumn of 2004. The line-up consists of Sharaku Kobayashi (Voice, Macintosh) and Hiromu Toda (Synthesizer, Macintosh), with Fukuda Fukusuke as support guitarist from time to time.

The band plays 'Asian chip pop' and sounds like a crossbreed between Shinjuku Gewalt and metronome.
On stage they have white THE BUGGLES (a band from the 80's) inspired shirts with a large F on it and futuristic looking sunglasses.

In January 2005 the band released the self-titled mini-album FLOPPY, consisting of 9 songs.
Later that year, they also released the maxi-single FLOPPY no suteki consisting of an additional 3 songs.

On December 24th, Christmas eve, they had their very first one-man show. On the same night they sold an untitled maxi-single, which contained 3 cover-songs.

FLOPPY's popularity has grown big throughout 2005, and it seems they are going steadily into the next year.
