Back-On is five man Japanese rock band from Tokyo, Japan. They are recognized for creating anime opening themes such as the Air Gear opening theme, "Chain".[1] In their 6th year in school, they realized that they wanted to start a band, though in the beginning they did it all separately.[2] In high school, Kenji03 met Teeda while GORI met SHU. They each started out in separate bands, but they naturally began turning toward each other to form their own band.[2]At this time KENJI03 met his brother's friend, Macchin, who became the band's drummer[2] and rounded out the quintet. They appeared at Anime Matsuri in April 2007 in Houston, Texas, for the first time outside of japan. They also appeared at Vancouver's Anime Evolution in August 2007 and Anime USA in Arlington Virginia in November 2007.
