Information

Stereopony entered Sony Music Japan's Teen Rock Festival 2008 as a four-piece girl band from Okinawa. They were part of the third stage in Fukuoka, entering with the song "TEARS," and were eventually signed with Sony (albeit as a three-piece band). In 2009, Stereopony was chosen to sing the second opening theme for the anime Mobile Suit Gundam 00, "Namida no Mukou". The single reached #2 on the Oricon weekly charts and became their first hit. In 2009, while visiting a studio, YUI decided to write a song for Stereopony, "I do it". Their debut album Hydrangea ga Saiteiru was released in June 2009.
