About ぃきものがかり

Primary schools, junior high schools and senior high schools are also located in Mizuno Yoshiki and Yamashita Hotaka.

1 February, 9991Because of their strong interest in music and musical instruments, they decided to form a group on their way home in the same direction in the winter of senior three. Because they couldn't think of a good name, they tentatively named it "Ikimono Gakari".

About the origin of this name, because in the first grade of primary school, there was an unforgettable childhood between Mizuno and Yamashita, that is, they went to feed goldfish together. They are also the head of the school biology class (the meaning of the head can be interpreted as the meaning of Hong Kong Head/Chairman), so they named this group "Ikimono Gakari".

After the formation of "Ikimono Gakari", the two began to practice street singing in their birthplace (Atsugi, a famous city in the sea) and the streets along the Ota Express Line.

At the beginning, the two held a simple idea: "Maybe one day we will be widely known and very popular!" ! I went to sing, but I realized that many things are not one-sided. Although there was no ideal result, it also inspired pop music at that time. They realized that the duo would not be very popular in Japan (then) and wanted to take part in the music competition, so they planned to find a woman to be the lead singer of "Ikimono Gakari".

1999165438+1October 3rd, just as they were upset about finding a tonic, a classmate introduced their sister Yoshioka Sheng Hui, who was one year younger than herself, and Yoshioka also intended to join Ikimono Gakari as a tonic. I heard that it was at that time that Yamashita Hotaka first met Yoshioka.

In this way, Yoshioka Sheng Hui, who had a keen interest in singing since childhood, joined the "Ikimono Gakari", and "Ikimono Gakari" was no longer a two-person band, but a band composed of three men and three women.

In addition, Mizuno and Yamashita proposed to change the name of the band because they thought it was "ugly", but Yoshioka used to be the head of the biology class when he was a child, and thought the name could also be used as a souvenir. Therefore, against this proposal, Ikimono Gakari was formally established.

With the participation of powerful lead singer Ji Gang, "Ikimono Gakari" was performed in Ebina and Live House, and its popularity was promoted to the whole county.

During 2000 and 2003, the band was temporarily dissolved because the three men also applied for universities. Until a certain month in 2003, the trio reunited and continued to perform at the train station and Live House. And self-funded three Indian albums as street singing bands.
