Information
Reno's first known band was NoveLis, who also gained popularity quite quickly in their time. Just like so many other bands in this scene, however, NoveLis wasn't around for a very long time; they were formed in February 2007, and went on activity pause in September 2008. All the members except for the keyboard player Sakura left the band, which resulted in an indefinite activity pause. Despite the short-liveness of the band, however, they released three maxi-singles, two one-song singles, and a full album.
After NoveLis, Reno was active in a session band called Kabushikigaisha Tasukinko under the name Satou (佐藤), and played in some other session bands such as IV miya Ko-ki no Yuuutsu. For a couple months around December 2008, Reno was also the support guitarist for Hi:BRiD, a band formed by former members of GHOST. Reno left Hi:BRiD to join ViViD in March.
