PROFILE
SuG is a visual kei band signed to Indie PSC, a division of the popular visual kei label PS COMPANY. Though they’ve only been around for little over a year, SuG already has a fairly large fanbase. 2007 was an extremely productive year for the band: they have released two singles as well as a mini-album and were also included in the JRock Invasion concert held at Cologne, Germany in December.

2008 should be an interesting year for SuG as the band continues to rise in popularity.

BIOGRAPHY
SuG was formed in October 2006 by Takeru (vocals), masato (guitar) and yuji (guitar). In November, MITSURU joined as the drummer.

The band began activities at the start of 2007, and bassist Chiyu joined that February. Shortly after, SuG set out to make themselves known. Their first song was released on the compilation album CANNONBALL vol.3.

After filling much of that spring and early summer with lives, the band was signed to the indie division of PS COMPANY, one of the most well known and respected visual-kei labels in Japan, and in August they released a maxi-single, Scheat. This was followed, in September, by their second single, Alterna. Both singles were widely promoted and featured interesting music videos; as a result, SuG's popularity skyrocketed.

At the end of 2007, SuG released a mini-album called I SCREAM PARTY and made their overseas debut in Cologne, Germany on December 29th for the J-Rock Invasion concert. Their success carried over into 2008 as they did a Japanese tour with stylish wave before releasing their highly anticipated first album, n0iZ stAr.

At the same time, Takeru played a role in the movie "Aquarian Age," a live action adaptation of a popular card game. The movie also featured fellow PS COMPANY band alice nine. Though Takeru only had a brief cameo, fans were extremely excited over his involvement in the film. While Takeru has stated that he enjoyed his short acting stint, he remains dedicated to SuG, and the band came out with another mini-album, Punkitsch, in September.

SuG has another single planned for this December and will also be one of the opening acts at the PS COMPANY 10th anniversary festival. As they ended 2007 on a similar note - with a release and a live - and gained immeasurable success, it's no wonder they want to close out 2008 in the same way. This should mean a bigger and even better year for SuG in 2009!
