the Tiger
The band was established in 2014 when Rin on vocals and guitar, Taiga on guitar, and Atsushi on drums crossed paths in a light music club during their high school years. In 2016, they achieved significant recognition by securing the grand prize at the Yamaha Music Revolution audition. While actively performing in their hometown of Nagoya, they independently released three mini albums. In 2019, the band relocated to Tokyo and began residing in a house in Katsushika Ward, dedicating their time entirely to rehearsals while searching for a new bassist. As the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded, they adapted by continuing to perform on the streets and via online platforms. In 2021, Yusuke joined as the bassist, completing the current four-person lineup and allowing the band to expand their live performances beyond Tokyo to various regions.
