History
The band formed in 2000 after two of the original members met on the internet and discovered that they attended the same university. At their formation with all their current members in 2003, the band's name was Aqua Times, the correct spelling of their current name. No major releases came from the band during this period. The band renamed themselves to Aqua Timez in 2005. Their first release under this name was a mini-album which charted well on Oricon.
In 2006, the group would go on to release their second mini-album with seven songs. Later in the same year, it was announced that they would provide the theme song to the movie version of the anime Bleach. The song, Beyond the Thousands of Nights. (千の夜をこえて Sen no Yoru wo Koete?) entered the Oricon singles chart with the 5th position and would go on to sell over 100,000 copies.
