THE OFFICIAL SUPERFLY THREAD

Superfly is a Japanese singer (formerly a duo) who mixes Japanese pop with 1960's and 1970's rock.

Superfly was formed in 2004 by the vocalist Ochi Shiho and the guitarist Tabo Koichi. The band made their major label debut in April 2007, with the single Hello Hello under Warner Music Japan label.

Before the release of the third single, Tabo Koichi left the duo. Despite this Ochi Shiho continued to release music under Superfly's name, as a soloist. Her first solo effort was the tour "Superfly 2007 Hello, We Love You". In November of 2007 she joined forces with the Australian band JET and released the single i spy i spy.

Her first single of 2008, "Ai wo Komete Hanataba wo" was used as the theme song to the dorama Edison no Haha. This single was Superfly's first big hit, which broke into the top twenty on the Oricon chart. In March of 2008, the song earned a gold certification for Chaku-Uta Full downloads from RIAJ. It would also be certified gold by RIAJ for PC downloads a month later.
Superfly released her self-titled debut album in May of 2008. It was her first release to reach #1 on the Oricon weekly chart.

ODJAKSDHAJSGHAGS I can't believe there are fans of hers around here! Well, I admit: SHE'S FANTASTIC. Best artist of the year for sure. <3333 Hi-Five, Ai to Kansha, Ai wo Komete Hanataba wo, naah, I love the whole album (except for Vancouver, which is a kind of boring imo). Recommended for everyone.

Meat Pao · #3 5th July 2008, 02:56 PM

YES! I'm going to get my copy of the album in the local HMV tomorrow (:

It's sad how there are so little fans of Superfly here and for all you know it might be just the 2 of us ):

paper_doll · #4 5th July 2008, 03:45 PM

I just checked out the album the other day after someone reminded me about it and I've fallen in love

bakacat · #5 5th July 2008, 11:32 PM

I actually really LOVE Vancouver, it's my favorite track!

I've been following this gal since Ai wo Komete Hanataba wo. She's coming out with a new single in September, I believe.

cloud♥honey · #6 6th July 2008, 12:16 AM

It is called How Do I Survive?, btw. The lyrics talk about relationship and it is probably a sad song. <3

new single, "Best Of My Life" out 5/13 (the theme song for the BOSS drama)

SunshineSlayer · #10 27th March 2009, 12:50 AM

She has the best voice in Japanese music right now, period. She deserves more attention than she gets.

Meat Pao · #11 27th March 2009, 09:53 AM

^ I agree

Sadly I only liked the songs from her debut album though

I didn't like How Do I Survive? that's why I didn't buy it. Hopefully I'll like "Best Of My Life".

PV was uploaded just a little while ago

love this song.

Meat Pao · #13 24th April 2009, 10:03 AM

I like the song but I still think her songs from her debut album are still better compared to her recent material...

rookies · #14 9th May 2009, 12:52 AM

She is going to be on Music Station next week!
