<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Formed in 2000, '''Art School''' is a unique band now gaining popularity in Japan. Their first album, [[SONIC DEAD KIDS]] was released in the same year and soon afterwards they began touring nationally. Their beautiful, pure pop sound made them appealing to a wide audience.<br />
<br />
In March of 2004, the band was reborn with the addition of two new members, [[Masafumi Todaka]] (guitar) and [[Takeshi Uno]] (bass). Over 10,000 people attended their first free live in Tokyo's Shibuya district. In August of 2004 they released their album entitled [[Scarlet]]. In 2005 they made their comeback with the release of [[Ato juubyou de]], and at last in October they teamed up with engineer [[Tony Doogan]] to record their third album in Glasgow. [[Paradise Lost]] was released to great critical acclaim. Their following maxi single, [[Freesia]], is also regarded as one of the band's best works and the 2006 tour that was named after the single was a huge success. Their latest album, [[Missing]] was released in September of 2006.<br />
