Biography

In 2011, the group was formed in Tokyo with members other than guitarist Shige and bassist Junya after the dissolution of the predecessor band YesterdayFall with the limited release of the single "Let Us Party". It was followed in 2012 by "EP". By 2014, they released singles of "MeIaM" and "Cocoon" limited to 1000 copies each.

By 2015, they released Course of Action for the first time nationwide distribution from his own label. Vocalist Yosh participated in the vocal project of popular playwright Hiroyuki Sawano. Meanwhile, guitarist Takuya Suzuki withdrew. In 2016, the band made a contract with Zestone Records with guitarist Tatsuya joining. They appeared at Knotfest in 2016. They released their second album Fixed with Chris Crummett as producer. It ranked 3rd in the "Breakthrough Artist" category chosen by readers of AP Japan magazine.

In 2017, at the final of the "Fixed" tour, a one-man show at Tsutaya O-West was sold out. It appeared in "Punkspring 2017" and "Summer Sonic 2017" and teamed up with Chris Crummett again to release the 3rd album Wabi Sabi. It appeared at "Countdown Japan 17/18" in December. In 2018 in May, the double A-side single "Ne: One/Hi-Lo" (Anyone / High and Low) was released. In August, the single "Found & Lost" was released while in September, they released the fourth album Space [s] (Spaces) from Sony Music Records and made a major debut. From October to February of the following year, the Space Tour 2018–19 was held with 27 performances in 26 cities. In December, the single "Red" was released. The band then appeared on "Countdown Japan 18/19".

In 2019, the 47-prefecture Now More Than Ever Tour took place from March to June. In August, the single "Mukanjyo" was released. The "Made in Asia Tour" was held from September to December, including performances at Zepp Divercity Tokyo. The tour final was held at Shinkiba Studio Coast. In 2020 they released their fifth album Inside Your Head. In October, to commemorate the 10th anniversary of their formation, the members looked back on their 10 years, selecting 10 songs that they felt symbolised themselves as a band, and five songs selected based on fan votes. A total of 20 songs, including their top five popular songs,[1] were compiled as the best-of album To Redefine / To Be Defined and released on January 20, 2021.[2]

Later in 2021, bassist/vocalist Yudai departed from the band, and Dr. Show appeared as El Tempo at the closing ceremony of the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics.
