Zone is a JPop band started in
Sapporo,
Japan in 1999, then become a hit in 2000 with their single Good
Days. Zone is categorized in a new genre called the 'bandol' (band +
idol) and was started by
Studio Runtime.
Zone started off as Takayo plus seven other dancers, then eventually
reduced to four members. After becoming popular, the four girls learned to
play their own instruments to complement their singing and dancing.
In late 2003, Takayo announced her leave of Zone to focus on studying.
Zone quickly recruited a new member, Tomoka, who was most likely one of
the original eight members of the dance unit that Zone once was.
