High and Mighty Color  

High and Mighty Color, also known as HAI ando Maiti Karā, was a Japanese rock band that was signed to Sony Music Entertainment Japan. The band consisted of six members: Halca (lead vocals), Yusuke (vocals), Kazuto (guitar), MEG (guitar), mACKAz (bass), and SASSY (drums). In 2005, the band released their first "Official" single titled "Pride," which was also used as the second opening for the anime Gundam SEED Destiny. Since then, they have experienced relative success, with their latest release being a cover of T.M. Revolutions' early single called "Hot Limit." The visual style of both the music video and promotional images is meant to mimic that of the original. On July 1st, 2008, it was announced that Maki would be leaving the band by the end of 2008 after marrying DREAMS COME TRUE singer Masato Nakamura on June 22nd, 2008. In her parting message, Maki thanked her fellow band members and all of their fans for supporting her and the group for such a long time. No plans to add another member have been made yet, but the band is expected to continue on without Maki. A special event was planned for Makis graduation from the band as well as at least one more single before she left the band. Later in 2009 after the departure of Maki auditions began for a replacement vocalist, resulting in the new vocalist female singer, Halca. In 2010, the band was disbanded with "Reache" as their last release.
