Tokyo, Japan (1997 – present)
POLYSICS is a Japanese new wave/synth pop/punk/rock band, hailing from Tokyo. The band started in 1997, but got their big break in 1998 at a concert in Tokyo. They create high energy music, fusing conventional guitar music, with synthesized and computer generated sound to create a unique mixture of punk and electro-pop. Their song lyrics often consist of Japanese, English, or just plain gibberish. The band has been noted for their extremely energetic live performances and their wild gimmicky outfits.
Since 1999 POLYSICS have released several albums. The albums 1st P and A.D.S.R.M! were released on the independent label DECKREC Records. Just after the release of 1st P their bassist, known only as “POLY-2”, left. The band dropped the “POLY-X” names, and reduced to a trio, with new member Fumi on Bass Support on some of the tracks from Neu. In 1999, Asian Man Records released their US Debut album, Hey! Bob! My Friend to rave reviews, but weak sales. The album was a compilation of tracks from their first two Japanese releases. In 2000, POLYSICS signed to Ki/oon Records (a subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment (Japan) Inc.) and released their first major album Neu. The album carried with it the same manic energy as their independent releases but more refined. On the 2001 album Eno, Synthesizers became more prevalent in the mix, but the songs still had an intense punk-like energy. For this album, Fumi returned to the band as a full member, returning POLYSICS to a quartet. 2002 saw the release of the album FOR YOUNG ELECTRIC POP, POLYSICS attempt at a pop album.

In theory with no EP to get in the way of this album it should be better than the last which was more solid then ABSOLUTE but still felt rushed. Also we should get a couple of singles and their PVs before its release! I hope they change the boiler suit design as well because imo they looked sullen in them :/

フットサル
25 Sep 2009 | from blog.myspace.com/polysicsordie
今日は10年ぶりくらいにフットサルをやってきました。なぜ10年ものあいだフットサルをやっていなかったかというと・・・あまり得意でもなく好きでもないからです（笑）。今日も半ばムリヤリ誘われての参加。まあ、やればやったで面白いのですが、ハンパではなく疲れました・・・。おそらく明日は全身筋肉痛で動けないことでしょう。明後日も動けないような気が・・・。
