FLOPPY

FLOPPY first debuted in Tokyo at club vuenos on August 8, 2004 and released their first single Chip Trick. This live-only single also contained the cover-song Pike originally by Hikashuu. A few months later they were able to release their first album, FLOPPY, at their two lives in December earlier before it was officially released in January 2005.

The release of their next mini-album, Sine Wave Orchestra was first released in May 2006. Next they were on a cover album, The Very Best Covers of Uchouten, covering the song Pinocchio which was originally by the 80’s progressive indie band Uchouten.

In February of 2007, Sharaku modeled in the “Gothic and Lolita Bible 24.” He represented FLOPPY wearing a theme that he called near future cyber boy. A few months later, the band released a rare in-store maxi-single titled low-bit disco, which quickly sold out and was followed by their first one-man tour Mach Midi Rider. The duo also started to branch out in 2008 by doing video game music. They did two songs for the game “IDOLM@STER” and a song for the XBOX360 shooter game “otomedius G.”

The duo started off 2009 with a long one-man live called TOKYO GAMESOUND SHOW at the end of January. In the spring, they released a new single called "everything" which was, yet again, sold only at their April 18th live but was later available for download as a digital single.
