Info
: Vinett was an indies band that was pretty
popular and it seemed they had the potential to get really big in the
next few years, but sadly they disbanded not too long ago.
Their concept seemed to be cute
and happy, which was noticeable in
their music; their songs were a mix of punk, rock and pop, sounding
very bouncy and cute. But it was also noticeable in their looks; five
fresh, smiling young men.
Biography : Vocalist Kei and guitarist Shuri (both former Eliphas Levi) started Vinett in August 2002. Later Rinka (former Celluloid), Ray (former Aliene Ma'riage) and Katsura (former Shazna and Baiser) joined the band.
Their first single Twinkle Twinkle was released in
August 2003. It was a great debut single for the band. It sold for 500
yen at concerts, and it sold out very quickly. A good start for the
band!
On the 3rd of June, 2004, the
bassist Ray decided to leave the band and join
another band, Nega. A little later in August, Yu~u replaced him. They also released their
second maxi-single heart” in the same month.
Their first album, happy followed only a month later. It
contained 14 tracks, and it definitely made their fans happy.
Things seemed to go really well
for the band, and they announced their first one-man concert. The title
was Are you happy?” and it was at the Meguro Rorumeikan,
on the 21st of January 2005.
It came as a complete surprise for
the fans as the band announced at their concert on December 22nd that
they would disband. The concert on January 21st, was
their first one-man concert but at the same time it was their last as
well
