UVERworld
UVERworld (ウーバーワールド, U-BA-WA-RUDO?) is a Japanese band known for their mixture of musical genres such as hard rock, rap, electronic, and beat-boxing. UVERchan, the band's mascot, is a fictional bear-bat like character, which appears on several of their covers.
The five-member band known as "UVERworld" first formed in 2003, and were known as "Sangoku Road." The band originally consisted of seven members, and released a demo CD, which ended up selling 3,000 copies. Unfortunately, two of the band members, a saxophonist and another vocalist, left the group. After their departure, the band renamed itself to "UVERworld."
2005 was the year that the band signed with the label gr8! records, which is under Sony Music Records. The band made their debut with the single "D-tecnoLife," which served as the 2nd opening theme song for the anime "BLEACH". After three months UVERworld's second single, "CHANCE!" was an opening theme for the PSP game "BLEACH~Heat the Soul 2~" and the last single released on 2005.

Three weeks later "UVERworld's" 1st album "Timeless" was released, breaking the top 10 at #5 and selling 60,000 copies. After a three month break, "UVERworld" released "Colors of the Heart" as the 3rd opening theme for "BLOOD+", an anime series based on the animated movie, "Blood: The Last Vampire".
