CORE OF SOUL is a pop/rock group consisting of three members: Nakamura Fukiko, Song Rui, and Iizuka Keisuke.

In 1999, during their final high school year, the group represented the Kansai region in the All Japan Final of the 'Teen Music Festival'. They won the 'Encouragement Award', which gave them the chance to record a demo and have it distributed by a major label.

The demo was released on February 11, 2001 and had the songs FULL MOON PRAYER and Angel on it. It sold well enough for them to sign a stronger contract and release more music.

CORE OF SOUL is very active performance-wise. Every year they tour parts of Japan. In 2003 they performed at the South by Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas, U.S.A. In November of that year, they were also given the opportunity to play at CBGB in New York.

The members of CORE OF SOUL have recently announced that, as of March 24, 2006, they will be disbanding. The group will complete a tour for their final album ONE LOVE, ONE DAY, ONE LIFE. The tour will come to an end in their home town of Osaka.
