HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR are a Japanese rock group signed to Spice Records, until 2008 they were signed to Sony Music Entertainment Japan. They are due to disband on August 11th 2010 after the release of their final single Re:Ache.
They were formerly made up of six members; Maki (lead vocals), Yūsuke (vocals), Kazuto (guitar), Meg (guitar), Mackaz (bass), and Sassy (drums).
This has been preceded by the news of Maki (lead vocals) departure from the band. A new member, Halca (vocals), has been added to the HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR line-up.
Notably, HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR have often been referred to as the “sister-band” of popular Japanese band Orange Range. This is attributed to the fact that both come from the Okinawa area of Japan and both bands were discovered in the same music festival. The band started with members Meg and Sassy working on a cover of a Metallica song, in time they were joined by Yusuke, Kazuto and mACKAz. At this time the band was known as Anti-Nobunaga.
In the summer of 2003, at a yearly music festival in Okinawa, the band played for a sold out crowd. The response was tremendous and made many major record labels take notice. Because of this, the group was able to produce an album titled “Okinawa 2003”. At another festival known as the “Music Picnic Festival” vocalist Maki also grabbed the attention of record labels. Eventually Maki met the band through their respective labels and joined them.
