History

2007–2009: Formation and indie years

DaizyStripper was founded in March 2007 with the line-up of: Yugiri (ex-Altema) on vocals, Mayu (ex-Clavier) on guitar, Nao (ex-Trick) on guitar, Rei (ex-Clavier) on bass, and Kazami (ex-Clavier) on drums.[1] The name DaizyStripper combines the innocence and eroticism, with the positive image of youth girlhood (“daisy”) coupling with the exposure of adulthood (“stripper”).[2][3] They spent three months writing songs and rehearsing, and on June 5 the band had a demonstration live at Takadanobaba Area 10th anniversary event.[1][4] Their debut live was on June 18 at Shibuya O-West. This led into a string of four lives, starting on June 24 at Liquid Room Abisu and ending on July 16 at Takadanobaba Area. On August 2 DaizyStripper was one of many bands performing in the "Scuber Dive ~Shibuya ga Taihen~" mega-event, they played at Shibuya O-Crest. A little more than two weeks later, on the 18th, the group participated in Guy's Family's sponsored event "Guy's Party Vol.3" at Liquid Room Ebisu.[4] On August 23 the group held their first sponsored event called "SakuranStrip" at Takadanobaba Area. At this live they distributed their one and only self-titled demo CD.[4] The two track demo contained: "Dandelion", which was re-recorded and used as their debut single and "Black Dropper", which was later re-recorded and placed on their first album Birth. "DaizyStripper" was limited to the number of customers that day.[4]

2008 started with two events in January, the first of which was the "J SHOCK '08 New Year's PARTY" on the 20th at Liquid Room Ebisu and the second was the Rk presents37 "Ikemen☆Paradise" on the 31st at Shibuya O-West.[4] On February 13 DaizyStripper released their debut single "Dandelion". It was released in a CD+DVD only format, and allotted to 1,000 copies. This was also only available to purchase at four select Like an Edison stores and at their lives.[5] The single reached No.10 on the indies Oricon charts and has since sold out.[6] As the first press of "Dandelion" sold-out a second press was released on April 16. It shares the same specifics as the first press. The second press was, however, available nationwide in 13 different stores. The single reached No.1 on the indies Oricon charts.[7] "Dandelion" overall reached No.59 on the major charts, where it charted for two weeks.[8] Like its predecessor it has since sold out.[1] Around this time a two consecutive month single release campaign was announced; "Hoshizora to Kimi no Te" was to be released on May 28 and "Juliette no Knife" was to be released on June 25.[9] However, they were cancelled and announced on a two-set CD Cross instead.[10]

May began with the group's part in the hide memorial summit that took place at Ajinomoto Stadium on the 3rd.[11] Their next bout of activity were two events: "Absolute Domain -Zettai Ryouiki-" on the 10th at Nagoya E.L.L and "ON" on the 16th at Holiday Shinjuku. On June 6 the group had their first one-man concert called Stripper's Kingdom at Shibuya Boxx.[12] Four days later they were a part of Ruvie's "Picture's" sponsored event at Shibuya O-West. As previously mentioned their second and third singles were condensed into a single box titled "Cross", released on June 11. This was also a limited release capped to 3,000 copies. The single box reached No.2 on the indies Oricon charts and has since sold out.[4]

In August, DaizyStripper perfomed their first show outside Japan at Otakon 2008 in Baltimore.[13][3] In September, their only lives were a part of their "Toumeihan" (東名阪; Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka) based solo tour called Cross ~Gekijou Trip / Ryuusei Trip~.[14] An extra date was added at Takadanobaba AREA on September 9.[15] On October 12 preceded the limited release of their fourth single "Truth", which was released on the 15th. Similar to the second pressing of "Dandelion" this was only available through 16 select stores.[16] The single reached No.1 on the indies Oricon charts.[3] A second pressing of their single box "Cross" was releassed on December 10, along with the official release of the fourth single "Truth".[17] "Cross" overall reached No.49 on the major Oricon charts where it charted for two weeks, while "Truth" overall reached No.35 on the major charts where it charted for three weeks.[8] At the same month, they ended the year with two lives, one on the 17th at Shibuya O-West and the other on the 31st at Yokohama Akarenga Souko 1-goukan 3F Hall.[4]

At early 2009, they performed the series of shows "stylish wave Circuit '09 Haru no Arashi" from March to April.[4] In October, the visual kei event V-Rock Festival '09 was held in Makuhari Messe, bringing 50 bands, including DaizyStripper.[18] The single "Dearest" was released in June, and preceded the solo national tour Beauty Brightness.[19] In November, the mini album The Beauty was released, peaking at 2th position at Oricon Indies.
