ZONE

official website: http://www.sonymusic.co.jp/Music/Info/ZONE/

A four person, all female band started by Studio Runtime. ZONE was the first of a new genre known as "bandol", a combination of band and idol. They released their first single in 1999 called "believe in love." In 2002, they became the winners of the the Japan Gold Disk New Artist of the Year. They are best remembered by their hit single "Kimi ga kureta mono ~ Secret Base."

ZONE will forever remain in my memories as the band that got me started on Japanese music when I unexpectedly happened across a video of their "Secret Base" performance at Kouhaku. Since then, I have always been impressed with their music and lyrics (accredited to composer Norihiko Machida), Miyu's spectacular vocals, their distinct and unique combination of personalities, and ability to play instruments and just rock out.
