Base Ball Bear (ベースボールベアー) is a four person group consisting of Yusuke Koide, Shiori Sekine, Shohei Yuasa and Daisuke Horinouchi. Formed, like so many other bands, in high school and as something of a one-off lark, managed to stick together and become one of the more prominent bands in the modern Japanese music scene.

Information
Base Ball Bear was a Japanese band that formed in 2001. Originally conceived as an Oasis cover band, and originally named Planet, the band would eventually start writing original material, and get signed to Toshiba-EMI. They say they were influenced strongly by Supercar. Their pop mentality only strengthened once they signed to a major label. While their early work is a bit angular and brash, their newer material is predictably refined and focused, both sonically and melodically. Their disco/dance beats also gained prominence, holding precedence over their earlier rock approach.
Members Yusuke Koide, Shiori Sekine, Shohei Yuasa, and Daisuke Horinouchi were attending the same high school when they decided to form a band to play a festival. The band changed their name within a year to Base Ball Bear, and began to demo songs. In 2003, Base Ball Bear signed to independent label Blitz Pia, and released their debut mini-album Yugata Generation that same year. Their first full-length, High Color Times hit stores in 2005, and in 2006, the band singed with Toshiba-EMI.
2007 saw Base Ball Bear embark on their first tour, as well as releasing their second album, 17 Sai, which cracked the top twenty on the Japanese charts.
