Color - Left Wing (Live) (1988)

"VOS No. 9", 1988.
Color formed in 1985. The group went on to release a few demos throughout 1986 and 1987, and later released their first single "Molt Grain" in late 1987. The single was a moderate hit, and Color later released their first full length album "Geki-Totsu (激突)", in February of 1988. The album was a humongous underground hit, and its rowdy style turned out to be a unanimous classic in the then-emerging visual scene. The up-and-comers were then suddenly positioned as leaders of the visual kei circuit, and Color then appeared on a few VOS video omnibuses throughout 1988 and 1989 as well. In November of 1988, Color released their first two singles "Sandbag Baby I" and "Sandbag Baby II", and also released their first mini-album "Fools! Get Lucky!!" in March of 1989. The album proved to be such a success that it topped the Oricon indies charts, and caught the attention of numerous major labels. The group then released their fourth single in June of 1989, "Broken Tavern", and later signed to Nippon Crown in the fall of 1989. The label then re-released the "Fools! Get Lucky!!" album, and Color then released their second mini-album, "Ask the Angels", that December. The album proved to be the group's commercial crossover that they needed, and was a sensation in both the commercial markets and the indies visual scene. Color went on to release two more singles throughout 1990, although they ran into their first commercial problem when one of their fans was apparently trampled to death at one of their concerts in 1990. This led to Color having a sharp decrease in mainstream popularity, and all of the controversy led to Color eventually being dropped from the Nippon Crown roster by the end of 1990. Color went on to tour to massive crowds across the indies circuit where they were already viewed as icons, and in March of 1991, the group released their first compilation album "Extre Mism", and later released their fifth single "The Exhibition", that July. Both the single and album proved to be underground hits, and Color went on to tour quite extensively throughout the remainder of 1991. In July of 1992, Color released their second full length album "Cherry's World", which, although it was moderately popular, failed to match the anticipation and smash sales of their previous releases and albums. The mediocre sales of "Cherry's World" led to Color taking a bit of a break throughout 1992 and 1993. The group only released one compilation album, "Remind", and appeared on the "Free-Will Anniversary 1993" omnibus throughout this period. In October of 1994, Color suddenly returned with the release of their third full length album "Galaxy", which represented the group going in a much more abstract electronic/trip hop direction. Due to it lacking any punk attitude which embedded Color, the album was one of the worse-selling albums of the decade, and is incredibly scarce to find today as a result of its horrendous sales. Color then toured for a bit in 1995, before suddenly disappearing by the end of the year. In 1997, frontman Dynamite Tommy announced that Color have indeed disbanded, and continued his activities in the visual kei world as a businessman, as he continues to run the Free-Will label, which remains the longest-running visual kei label to date. He has not been active in the visual scene as a vocalist since Color disintegrated. Actually, the only member of Color who remained active in the visual scene was bassist Marry, who returned in 2000 as a member of the equally-legendary breakthrough visual group G.D. Flickers. In 2002, however, Marry suddenly passed away from a car accident, and his age of passing remains unknown to the public. In 2003, a year after Marry's death, the remaining members of Color reunited to perform in his memory. They would do this once more in 2008, but have not reunited since. The members of Color, with the exception of Dynamite Tommy, have since appeared to have returned to their respective retirements.
