Information

HY formed in Okinawa in 2000 and signed onto the small independent Climax Entertainment label. Though there have been various offers by other record labels, HY has shown a commitment to maintain their own originality by continuously declining these offers.

Though they have never released a single, HY continues to be one of the most popular Indies bands in Japan who continuosly acheives high sales with each album release. In 2003, HY became the first Indies band ever to enter the Oricon Album Charts at Number 1.

In March of 2006 HY began their WATTA SHINKER '06 Tour, which was based around their upcoming album, Confidence, which released the following month and debuted at #1 on the Oricon charts. WATTA SHINKER ended in May, covering a total of 47 concert halls around Japan. In July they also performed at AP Bank fes'06.

In September 2006 HY announced their KUMAKARA AMAE tour set for December, in which they would only perform at Nippon Budokan and Osaka-Jo Hall. Their performance at Budokan was aired live on Fuji TV, as well as being renamed "KUMAKARA AMAE Satellite Tour", as they aired it via satellite around Japan at locations ranging from Hokkaido to Okinawa, with tour goods being sold at each satellite location.

During their performance in Budokan, HY announced a North American/Canadian tour set for 2007. They performed once in Canada and 6 times around North America in March, their North American performances being part of the JAPAN NITE US TOUR 2007.[1] HY followed their North American tour up with their "2007 AMAKUMA A’CHA JAPAN TOUR" in April, where they performed in various bars and nightclubs throughout Japan.
