Information

Doremidan was formed on January 1st, 2002 in Osaka by Makoto. The original line-up was Makoto on vocals, Haruhi on guitar, Ko-zi on bass and Reika on drums. Their name comes from the song Don't Let Me Down by The Beatles. When this is pronounced very fast with a japanese accent, it will sound like 'doremidan'. Their name also reflects solfège (the 'do-re-mi' part). The bands musical influences includes jazz, swing and rock and roll which make their sound unique.
