DEEN was formed in 1993 after [[WANDS]]'s [[Uesugi Sho]] and [[Oda Kanako]] searched for a singer to sing for a DoCoMo commercial. After searching, they found [[Ikemori Shuuichi]] and decided to give him a test run. After they found him good to go, they hurried to find a keyboardist and found [[Yamane Koji]]. They released their first single months later, entitled "[[Kono Mama Kimi Dake wo Ubaisaritai]]", and it did exceptionally well as it climbed to #2 on the weekly [[Oricon]] charts. They released their next single, "[[Tsubasa wo Hirogete (DEEN)|Tsubasa wo Hirogete]]", soon after and it hit #1.

Information

DEEN was formed in 1993 after WANDS's Uesugi Sho and Oda Kanako searched for a singer to sing for a DoCoMo commercial. After searching, they found Ikemori Shuuichi and decided to give him a test run. After they found him good to go, they hurried to find a keyboardist and found Yamane Koji. They released their first single months later, entitled "Kono Mama Kimi Dake wo Ubaisaritai", and it did exceptionally well as it climbed to #2 on the weekly Oricon charts. They released their next single, "Tsubasa wo Hirogete", soon after and it hit #1.
