The Japanese Eurobeat girl group ‘SHANADOO’ debuted on 16th Jun 2006 with the single “King Kong” in Germany and Austria. Their debut in Japan followed on 28th Feb 2007 with the Japanese release of their first album “Welcome To Tokyo”.
Manami, Junko and Chika were known as the idol group ‘Vivace’ under the label Avex. There was also a forth member named Kotomi Ban but she left the ‘Vivace’ in 2005. The group mainly existed for promotion purposes. They released trading cards, photobooks and two songs, ‘Flame Love’ and ‘On My Own’. These songs should remain their only ones until the girls decided to team up with Marina as the lead singer to form ‘Shanadoo’.
