Information
Black Biscuits formed in 1997 with Comedians Nana Mikyoya, Amano Hiroyuki, and then unknown Chinese singer Vivian Hsu after the success of the group Pocket Biscuits. Black Biscuits challenged Pocket Biscuits to see who can reached the top of the Oricon charts and become the most popular group in Japan first. In turn, the group appealed to the Japanese audience as a dance unit. They released their first single, "STAMINA", by the end of 1997 with much success.
They released their second and third single, "Timing" and "Relax", which features Amano on main vocals, in 1998 with the same success as their debut single. Although there were many disagreements on the single "Timing", including the last minute change of the costumes' colors from red to orange, the single paved the way for the group to appear at the end of the year program Kouhaku Uta Gassen with their rivals Pocket Biscuits. They also became very big across Asia, especially in Vivian's home country of Taiwan, and appeared in many song festivals around Asia that were sponsored by NHK.
In May 1999, Ding Kaidi joined the group and appeared in the next single, "Bye-Bye". But, due to Black Biscuits not achieving their goal of beating Pocket Biscuits in term of sales on Oricon, the unit was forced to disband a couple months later. Vivian Hsu would go onto pursuing a solo music career. However, the group got back together for a television appearance in March 2002.
