BACK-ON

Back-On (バックオン, Bakkuon?) (Stylized as BACK-ON) is a five man Japanese rock/nu metal band from Tokyo, Japan. They are recognized for creating anime opening themes such as the Air Gear opening theme, "Chain"; Murder Princess opening theme "Hikari Sasuhou (fk Metal ver.)" and Eyeshield 21s "BLAZE LINE". etc, although they have also written ending themes for both anime and TV shows. These include "flower" and "a day dreaming..." for Eyeshield 21, and "Butterfly" for the late-night TV drama Shinjuku Swan, and most recently "Sands of Time" for the mobile robot TV drama Keitai Sousakan 7.

They have just formed a new band called BAReeeeeeeeeeN (バリーン, Barīn?) with the 4-man band GReeeeN, produced by Jin (so 10 people = 10 e's) and their debut single "Ashiato" is due out on October 1, 2008. The song is currently #1 in the USEN and chaka-uta digital download charts.

The band's singles "Flyaway" and "Where Is the Future?" were created as the theme music for the PSP game Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2, which was released exclusively in Japan on January 28, 2009.

Their forthcoming single release ONE STEP!/Tomorrow never knows is a year in the making and is due out on January 27, 2010.

"Tomorrow never knows" has been used as the background theme music for the DyDo coffee commercial featuring Teppei Tajima, the Japanese surfer.
