DISH//

The Japanese band DISH// was formed in 2011 and released its first independent single, "It's Alright," one year later. Combining rock and J-pop influences with dance choreography, the band established a unique sound and cracked the Top 20 with another independent single, "Give Me Chocolate!," in early 2013. The song's success earned DISH// a major-label contract with Sony Music Records, kickstarting a string of Top 10 singles that became with the Number 9 hit "I Can Hear" and the Number 4 hit "Hareru Ya!" in 2013. Meanwhile, the group's lineup shifted slightly, with the roster coalescing around Daichi Izumi, Masaki Yabe, Takumi Kitamura, and To-i Tachibana. By the time the group released its debut album, Main Dish, in 2015, DISH// had also scored a pair of Number 2 hits with "Saisho no Koi (Motetakute) / Flame" and "Hengao de Bye Bye!!," both of which were released in 2014. Main Dish proved to be a success, too, peaking at Number 5 and paving the way for subsequent Number 2 singles like "Oretachi Rookies" and "High-Voltage Dancer." A second album, Mashiagare no Gatling, was released in 2016 and peaked at Number 4, with Junkfood Junction climbing to Number 2 in 2019. Following a short break, DISH// returned to the charts with 2021's X, which charted at Number 4 and produced the Top 10 singles "No.1" and "Chinchoge" followed by digital single "Shiwakucha na kumo wo daite" in July, 2022 and CD single "Replay" in October the same year.
