Information
In 2000 Futoshi and OKP-STAR meet through a member recruitment for Futoshi's band. Later in 2001 the band was disbanded but both started their musical activities together. In 2003 Daisuke, mayuko and Abiko joined the band and they formed AQUA TIMES (Aqua Timusu). On 2003 and 2004 they won the Shinseido audition "CHANCE!". Later on 2004 they produced their first album and single, Kanashimi no Hate ni Tomoru Hikari and Itsumo Issho. The next year a mistake was made while reading the band's name (Aqua Timuzu) changing it to the actual name, Aqua Timez.
In 2005.08.24 they release their mini-album Sora Ippai ni Kanaderu Inori under MEGAFORCE CORPORATION label and despite being under an indies label they reach the #1 on the Oricon charts. In 2006 they sign with Epic Records Japan, a sublabel of Sony Music Entertainment, and they release the mini-album Nanairo no Rakugaki. Before the album was released the drumer Abiko left the band. The new drummer, TASSHI, joined at the time of the release of their second single, Sen no Yoru wo Koete.
