![]() ![]() Rei explained the decision to move in a hard rock direction was rooted in the band members coming of age: "Now, the three of us are a bit older and we can express more of our own opinions, like 'We want to rock more!' We feel confident about our direction, so we have no doubt about our future." On December 24, 2016, Brats posted a teaser image on their website with the date "12.27.16", and 3 days later, on December 27, Brats revealed their new hard rock style in the music video "Ainikoiyo", the opening theme from the Japanese anime To Be Hero. The song, produced by Urbangarde's Temma Matsunaga, featured the band performing in techno-rock style connected to religious, lolita, and horror imagery, but Rei later stated that she felt the song and its video weren't true to her vision of the band: "It's what Temma-san felt Brats was, and we jumped into the world of Urbangarde." The band paused activities in March 2015, and Rei Kuromiya temporarily joined the group Ladybaby, continuing through November 2017. ![]() ![]() On November 21, 2015, Brats released the music video "14-sai-byou" ("14-year-old disease"). On April 10, 2015, they released their independently-produced first single, "Misery". On May 3, 2013, Brats performed at Imax Live 2013 held at Ikebukuro's RUIDO K3, and held their first solo live show on August 11, 2013, at the same venue. On August 25, they received a special award in the 634 Band Contest at Azumabashi Fest. On August 15, 2012, Brats released their first demo CD "Gangan Do it!" on the same day as their first performance at Shibuya Club Quattro. The band name was chosen by Rei because of her "brat"-like personality. Brats was formed in Tokyo in August 2011 by sisters Rei Kuromiya and Aya Kuromiya, when they were 10- and 12-years-old, respectively. ![]()
