High and Mighty Color

High and Mighty Color was a Japanese rock band signed to Sony Music Entertainment Japan and formed in 2003. HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR consisted of six members: Halca (lead vocals), Yusuke (vocals), Kazuto (guitar), MEG (guitar), mACKAz (bass), and SASSY (drums). The band had an ex-member, Maakii (lead vocals). In 2005, they released their first official single titled "Pride," which was also used as the second opening for the anime Gundam SEED Destiny. Since then, the band has enjoyed a wave of relative success. Their latest release was the 13th single, a cover of T.M. Revolution's early single called "Hot Limit." The visual style of both the music video and the promotional images was designed to mimic that of the original. On July 1st, 2008, it was announced that Maki had married DREAMS COME TRUE singer Masato Nakamura on June 22nd, 2008, and would be leaving the band by the end of 2008. In her farewell message, Maki thanked her fellow band members and all their fans for their long-standing support. No plans to add another member were made at that time, but the band was expected to continue without Maki. A special event was planned for Maki's graduation from the band, along with at least one more single before her departure. Later in 2009, after Maki's departure, auditions for a replacement vocalist began, resulting in the new female singer, Halca. In 2010, the band disbanded with the single "Re:ache" as their last.
