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 in japanese, 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.
