SOLIDEMO

SOLIDEMO (ソリディーモ) is an eight-member male vocal group formed in 2013, with members whose average height is over 180 cm.

The group's name is a combination of the words "SOLID" for super cool, and "EMO" for emotional. They have a serene and dignified side, but at times sing romantic and emotional love songs, which is why they were named SOLIDEMO.

The members aspire "to become made in Japan artists​ who are active throughout Asia" and made their major debut on April 16, 2014 with their first single "THE ONE"​​​​.

SOLIDEMO received the New Artist Award at the 56th Japan Record Awards.
