Descrição:

I've Sound, or simply called I've (アイブ, Aibu), is a Japanese techno/trance music production group based in Sapporo, Hokkaidō, Japan. Led by Kazuya Takase, it features the talents of seasoned "sound creators" and many different female vocalists, known as utahime (歌姫, utahime) to their fans.

They have created the theme songs for many Japanese adult games, most famously the opening ("Tori no Uta") and ending ("Farewell Song") to Key's popular adult visual novel and anime Air. More recently, they have been creating the theme songs to anime series. Among anime fans, I've Sound is well known for providing the theme songs to such series as Black Lagoon, Please Teacher!, Please Twins!, Shakugan no Shana, Starship Operators, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, Hayate the Combat Butler and Nanatsuiro Drops.

Originally, fans believed that the name I've stood for "I Love, I Live, I Leave", but it turns out that I've comes from (愛撫, aibu), the Japanese word for "caress", which traces back to their eroge roots.
I've has been active since 1998, although at the time they were not known as "I've". They are formed by members of the six-member Takase Fight. During this time they produced music for tsushin karaoke and adult game brands based in Hokkaidō. They also made two tracks for the Dancemania series, If You Were Here (by JENNIFER) and Is This The Way You Kill A Love (by GINA), both featured in Dance Dance Revolution.

They first assumed the name "I've" when they were going to work on the adult game Lips ~egao no yukue~ in the autumn of 1998. Production for the game was later cancelled, but this, however, sparked their ties with Visual Art's, a computer game and software maker that most of I've's subsequent works are released under.

The first game I've officially produced music for was Hakidame -TRASH-, produced by ZERO (a brand of Visual Art's) and released in February 1999, where they were credited as I've Sound. The game featured the songs FUCK ME and Utsukushiku Ikitai.

I've's big break came when the popular adult PC game Kanon by Key was released in 1999, featuring the theme songs Last regrets and Kaze no Tadoritsuku Basho, both arranged by I've. This gained them a burst of fame among the eroge gamers. These songs were used later as opening and ending credits when Kanon became an anime (remake only).

They released their first compilation album, regret in December 1999.

In 2002, I've was hired to produce the music for their first anime series, Please Teacher, which helped to further spread their name among fans.

In April 2004, KOTOKO, one of I've's vocalists who worked on Please Teacher, made her major debut with the album Hane. This was followed by Mami Kawada's major debut (radiance single) in February 2005, and Eiko Shimamiya's (ULYSSES album) the same year in April. MELL and sound creator C.G mix made their major releases in 2006 (Red fraction single and in your life album respectively). Most recently, Kaori Utatsuki also joined the ranks in August 2007 with the single Shining stars bless☆.

I've held their first concert on October 15 2005 at Nippon Budokan.

In the weeks before the concert approached they launched a web radio I've Talk Jam, hosted by SHIHO with Kazuya Takase and Tomoyuki Nakazawa as regulars, and had a different I've vocalist appear as guest for each show. It ended after nine shows, shortly before the Budokan concert took place.

I've Sound provided their first live-action theme for the movie Real Onigokko, with KOTOKO singing the theme song of the same name. Another live-action tie-in song will be for the live-action movie of the anime Higurashi no Naku Koro ni which will be released in 2008 with Eiko Shimamiya performing the intro and outro themes (WHEEL OF FORTUNE (Unmei no Wa) and Diorama respectively).

If you happen to be in London next Tuesday, 21st April, I recommend the UK premiere of BAKIRINOSU, a female acapella duo from Osaka, Japan. Fed by diverse influences, the twin voices of Bakirinosu have their roots in popular Japanese music and travel, a cappella, along melodic lines that evoke both European folklore and the sound of unknown threnody, from further away. Part of Osaka’s art scene, Ras and Gaki collaborated on rock projects before testing out a more daring formula based on song. Bakirinosu is a young group, whose candour is captivating and whose voices are beautifully simple, spontaneous and tranquil, oscillating between ethnic breathlessness and poetic nursery rhymes. BAKIRINOSU live at CAFE OTO, London Tuesday 21 April 2009, 20h00 18-22 Ashwin Street, Dalston, London E8 3DL, www.cafeoto.co.uk Book now at http://www.wegottickets.com/event/45498 £8 in advance, £10 at the door
