Information

HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR originated as a five piece band named ANTI-NOBUNAGA on the island of Okinawa. They often performed in US Army clubs on the island and would cover Western songs. In 2003, the band met Maki by chance, who they met at a music festival, they decided to change their name and began the trek to a professional career.

They were first announced as a major label band at a music event called Music Picnic, which was held in September of 2004, and soon after in January of 2005 debuted with the single PRIDE; which was used as the opening theme for the anime Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny, which reached #2 in Oricon charts. Since then, all of their singles have been in the top 25 on the charts. Another single, Ichirin no Hana (一輪の花), was also used for the opening of the anime Bleach.

Though now a major label band, they are still based in Okinawa. Only 15 months after their debut, they performed in the United States as a special guest for ShiokazeCon, a anime convention in Texas that took place April 28-30th, 2006. In mid May, they will once again perform in the US as the special guests for AnimeCentral 2007, an anime convention held in Rosemont, Illinois.

Their 10th single, Dreams, was used as the second ending theme to the anime DARK THAN BLACK -Kuro no Keiyakusha-. The single became the band's lowest selling as of its release. The 11th single from the band, Amazing, is set for release in December 2007.

On July 2, 2008 Maki announced, on HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR blog, that she got married to Nakamura Masato from DREAMS COME TRUE. She also stated that by the end of the year she will leave the band.
