1) “the Indigo” is a unit by Miki Taoka (vocal and lyrics) and Yuichi Ichikawa (composition and arrangement).

Miki was making demonstration tapes. Yuichi was working as a composer/arranger. They got to know each other through making a demo tape, and they became “the Indigo” in 1998. In 1999, they composed a song called “BLUE”, which was highly appreciated by everyone in the Japanese music industry. This song was welcomed by many listeners as they awaited for their first single, on May 24, 2000.

2) The Indigo was formed by five musicians living in Jyväskylä, Finland. Former roommates Päivärinta and Siekkinen had discovered having a similar taste for music and the skill of writing great songs. These two then gathered a line-up of five musicians to form a group later named as The Indigo. The line-up proved to be working well from the very start.

Since 2003, The Indigo has gigged with an accelerating pace in Finland. During the band’s first three years, The Indigo produced three demo-cds. In the making of those early demos, the band learned many valuable lessons and the vision of how The Indigo should sound on a recording started to evolve.

In September 2006, The Indigo released a promotional edition of its first single-cd, “Killing Time”. It carried on the live spirit of The Indigo while presenting it in a broader and more layered form, and was even aired on Finnish radio stations receiving excellent reviews. The follow-up was The Indigo’s second single: Zodiac Skylight. It was released in May 2007 and it continued on the tracks set by Killing Time while taking the productional level a few more steps towards perfection.
