2004年のIMARi ToNESのメンバーは、Tone, はらっち、みねっち、だった。 実は2003年の後半から、いろんなメンバー編成を試してみたけれど、うまくいかず、 2004年の3月に、このラインナップになってから、バンドの活動が始まったのだった。 So lineup of IMARi ToNES at that time in 2004 was, Tone, Haratti, and Minetti. Actually the band has been trying with several other members since the last quarter of 2003 but it didn't work.

IMARi ToNESはいつから始まったのかという質問をよく受けます。 実際には、もともとIMARi ToNESというこのおかしな名前の音楽は、 ナカミネタカヒロの個人的な事情からスタートしている音楽であり、 バンドの形になる前から、個人の録音制作のアートプロジェクトとして、 スタートしていたものでした。 実際に、ナカミネが録音制作を始めたのは、 実に1998年にさかのぼることになります。 I have been asked frequently about when IMARi ToNES has begun.In fact, this music which is called by funny name IMARi ToNES, it was originated from Tone (Tak Nakamine)'s personal life. And it started as a personal recording art project. Actually it was back in 1998 when Tone started his fir… read more
