Aqua Timez is a rock group from Japan currently affiliated with Epic Records.
Overview
In 2000, Futoshi and OKP-Star connected via with9.com and initially tried to establish a band, but their differing artistic directions caused the effort to dissolve. The ensemble known today as Aqua Timez came together in 2003. Their debut independent mini album, Sora Ippai ni Kanaderu Inori, was launched in August 2005. After signing with Epic Records Japan in 2006, they released their second mini album titled Nanairo no Rakugaki along with two singles, "Ketsui no Asa ni" and "Sen no Yoru o Koete". Both singles served as theme songs for the animated movies Brave Story and Bleach: Memories of Nobody, significantly enhancing their popularity. This momentum paved the way for their first full studio album, Kaze o Atsumete.
By December 2016, Aqua Timez had produced 2 mini albums, 19 singles, 8 studio albums, and a compilation album.
The band declared their disbandment on May 8, 2018, culminating with the "Present is a Present tour 2018".
On July 11, 2024, Aqua Timez revealed plans for a reunion in celebration of their 20th anniversary, intending to recommence activities in 2025 including releasing new singles and performing live shows.
