COACH

Artist

A five-member female vocal unit of voice actresses and stage actresses formed in 2005 around the cast of the stage play 'School Rumble'. Featuring Ai Hayashi, Satomi Akesaka, Hatsumi Miura, Yumiko Hosono, and Michie Kitaura, the group specialized in fresh, youth-filled harmonies. Their debut single 'Start Line' was chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime 'Suzuka', and they also contributed the insert song 'Aoi Field' and the ending 'Kimi no Koto'. With their vibrant girls' vocals, they painted the swaying emotions of heroines devoted to track and field and the radiance of high-school life as a memorable youthful anisong.
