I prefer the old songs of ZONE too, but as? sh33p said, ZONE is still good no matter what...When Tomoka joined ZONE I thought they would play more rock songs, like Sotsugyou. This song is almost a punk one. I thought ZONE wasn't a Jpop band anymore. But then, with Glory Colors, they showed me that they still sing pop songs..That's why I love this group!!? :lol:

Yea, is there any song with that ZONE with 7 people? I wanna know too

i LOVED sotsugyo! <3

as said in zone zealots:

from wat i know... the 8 person ZONE was quickly reduced to 6.. and there are actually tv clips showing the 6 member ZONE (with tomoka and Ai).
prob they might have tried some songs but the official releases only started with the 4 member one.

(as we are sidetracking here... i have split these posts out. :lol:)
ZONE is only good at one thing... that is, making music :)

I heard that the idea of playing instruments came from Takayo, is that true?

How did they decide who was going to play each instrument? Does anyone know??

hey, good point A.K,
i was wondering bout it myself. ^_^ mizu on drums! who thought of that !?!

(but i thought the playing instrument part came from a producer who got the inspiration from another group's perfromance, not too sure <3 )

hmm...also, the "8-6 party ZONE" period, theres not much info bout it... i only saw some pics :lol: haha, so i cant comment ^_^

Yes the 3 girls on the up side are Miyu, Tomoka and Maiko (from left to right)...they really have changed a lot.....

I don?Lt know what this pic is about.... coz i think officially their first single is Believe in Love....when they did not play instruments yet..... i had a old video that they introduce themselves as ZONE with 6 members.....

the idea of playing instruments came from the producer... but i think they chanegd the instruments themselves.... on Sunny side DVD on Good Days making of there is some time when look like they are trying and choosinge their instruments... Mizu trying the guitar and Maiko playing bass as a guitar.....
Maiko, Tomoka, Miyu, Mizuho and Takayo - We will always love you !!

That's true! There's a part where they are dancing that Mizuho is with Maiko's bass beside Miyu. Maybe they were just having fun but maybe they were seeing what instrument each one prefers....

From a video file I got off of BT a while ago...it was some TV show and they talked about Zone's debut.

The clip has them going into a music store to buy their first instruments and then they bring them back to Runtime and start playing. I really like this part of the clip because they are jamming. I can't figure out what song they are playing, but all of sudden, the vocals for Good Days comes in...maybe its that. It's just cool to see them actually playing back in the days when they first started out as a band.

Here's the clips - Zone Jamming!

Thanks superdry! That's so cool. Now I get to see them when they're young.

I can easily recognize them. But the only difference was that they were cute as in a child. At first I wasn't sure if the top right was Maiko. She looks really cute. I think that Takayo and Mizuho looks really pretty.

The 6th girl is Ai.... i don?Lt know welll if she is still in Runtime.... if so then she could be one of the bassist of Red Workerz.... but the name of the bassist is Aika.... i don?Lt know if they are the same person or not.... from the pic they are a little similar......
Maiko, Tomoka, Miyu, Mizuho and Takayo - We will always love you !!
