Career timeline

2009–2011: formation and Virgin-A

Gacharic Spin was formed in Tokyo, March–April 2009, after bass player F Chopper Koga left her previous band Шаблон:Ill and, although considering quitting music, decided to form her own band with former high school classmate and drummer Hana.Шаблон:R

The pair began recruiting more members; Koga contacted an acquaintance through their music scene, Eita, to play guitar and after a brief studio audition, she joined the band. Vocalist Armmy contacted Eita about learning guitar when her then-band went on hiatus, but the conversation turned to the creation of Gacharic Spin and Armmy was invited to audition for vocals. She thereafter joined, and the band derived its name from the word Шаблон:Nihongo, meaning clattering.Шаблон:R Eita left the band November 28, 2009, after a concert in Ebisu, Shibuya, and was replaced by former Eu Phoria memberШаблон:R Tomo-zo.Шаблон:R

The band released their debut single "Lock On!!" on their own label Juicy Girls RecordsШаблон:R in March 2010,Шаблон:R following up with Шаблон:Nihongo in June.Шаблон:R They made their national television debut the following July on NHK General TV's Music Japan, performing "Lock On!!",Шаблон:R and released the single Шаблон:Nihongo later that year in September.Шаблон:R

In March 2011, they were among acts performing at the Anime Matsuri convention in Houston, Texas,Шаблон:R and shortly after released the mini-album Virgin-A in May.Шаблон:R They also acted as motion capture models for the 2011 video game Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Extend.Шаблон:R

2012–2013: Doll$Boxx and Delicious

In February 2012, members of the band coached the performers of AKB48 for their 2012 music video "Give Me Five!".Шаблон:R Armmy left the band on March 14, 2012,Шаблон:R due to medical reasonsШаблон:R and went on to form the band TakaEita with fellow early Gacharic Spin member Eita.Шаблон:R

Quickly following the departure of Armmy; for a 2012 Japan tour, keyboardist Oreo Reona was added as a support member.Шаблон:R She had previously been a member of Eu Phoria with Tomo-zo.Шаблон:R Reona would shortly thereafter become a permanent member providing keyboards and vocals.Шаблон:R It was during this tour that Шаблон:Ill from Шаблон:Ill joined Gacharic Spin along with Micki (of G∀lmet), Kana (of Head Speaker), Britney (Britney Hamada), Hitomi Togi, RisaRock (of Baby Spark) and Mayu (of Blista) as support vocalists.Шаблон:R Although the band began to look for a new permanent vocalist, they had not found one with a French tour confirmed so, since Hana and Reona had previously been singers, they decided to share the job.Шаблон:R

The single Шаблон:Nihongo was released in June 2012.Шаблон:R

During a period in 2012 with both Light Bringer and Gacharic Spin having reduced live commitments, and after working with Fuki as a guest vocalist on their own tour, they were inspired to form Doll$Boxx from the then-four members of Gacharic Spin with Fuki as vocalist. All members were interested to create something new, with Gacharic Spin writing the music and Fuki writing the lyrics, altering their styles to suit the combination. They decided to record a cover version of the Gacharic Spin single "Nudie Rhythm" and featured it on their debut album Dolls Apartment, released in December 2012.Шаблон:R

With lead vocalists Hana also drumming and Reona playing keyboards – stationary instruments – keeping them from interacting with the audience, in 2013, "performers" Mai (Mai Ichigo) and Arisa were recruited to fill the role. Mai initially joined alone, with Arisa following shortly after. They came to be known as the "Gacha Gacha Dancers",Шаблон:R with Mai also acting as choreographer.Шаблон:R

Metallic Spin

They released their debut album Delicious in March 2013,Шаблон:R with Nose, the drummer of Metallic Spin, featured on the album track Шаблон:Nihongo providing a rap. Beeast Web Rock Magazine stated in March 2013 that Metallic Spin are Шаблон:Nihongo.Шаблон:R In interview with Tomokazu Nishihiro for Real Sound in February 2015, Hana confirmed that Шаблон:Nihongo, going on to clarify that Шаблон:Nihongo. Koga apparently laughed in response to this statement.Шаблон:R In interview with Ruchesko and Silverfaye for JaME in August 2015, Mai stated that "members of Metallic Spin helped" her in the making of the music video for the single "Melting Candy" released in February 2015.Шаблон:R Metallic Spin were later announced as guests of Gacharic Spin on their Gacha 10 Live 2019 Japan tour,Шаблон:R and attendees of Anime Matsuri 2019, where Gacharic Spin performed, were reportedly seen cosplaying as Metallic Spin, by OKMusic, who referred to Metallic Spin as a Шаблон:Nihongo.Шаблон:R In interview with Todd Nelson for J-Generation in July 2019, Koga (translated by Cap Hayes) stated "Gacharic Spin and Metallic Spin are not related" when asked about a then-upcoming Metallic Spin live show.Шаблон:R

Also in February, Angelina 1/3 joined as a "microphone performer".Шаблон:R With a long-time desire to be a "singer", she was initially a little disappointed by the use of this descriptor, but she was convinced by her bandmates that she was free to express Gacharic Spin not only by singing.Шаблон:R Koga invited her to audition after seeing her perform at a school festival;Шаблон:R she was seventeen years old, still in school and had no professional stage experience when she joined. The following March, yuri – formerly of the disbanded Lagoon – joined as drummer. With Yuri drumming, Hana switched to guitar and continued as vocalist.Шаблон:R

The eponymous and self-produced album Gacharic Spin was released in September 2021.Шаблон:R Their fortyseven prefecture tour of Japan was halted due to COVID-19 restrictions and the band found themselves looking for creative outlets, turning to social networking services including their "Gachatto TV" YouTube channel. Their drive to play and write songs led to around half the songs on Gacharic Spin being completed during this period, with the band having made the decision to take control of production ahead of the decision to release the album. "MindSet" was selected to be released in advance of the album as the band agreed it best showcased the most recent incarnation of their band – with a prominent Angelina 1/3 – and because of the relative complexity of the music and lyrics.Шаблон:R
