SPEED

SPEED is a prominent Japanese pop girl group that burst onto the music scene in the mid-1990s. Hailing from Okinawa, the group is widely recognized for their dynamic vocal talents and their energetic dance routines. Consisting of members Hiroko Shimabukuro, Eriko Imai, Takako Uehara, and Hitoe Arakaki, SPEED made a notable impact in the J-pop genre with their distinctive blend of pop melodies and dance beats, rapidly becoming teen icons and one of Japan's best-selling girl groups.

The group initially disbanded in 2000, allowing members to pursue solo careers and various personal endeavors. However, SPEED has reunited several times since their split, much to the delight of their dedicated fanbase. The reunion albums such as "4 COLORS" and live albums like "Welcome to SPEEDLAND SPEED LIVE 2009@武道館" underscore the group's enduring appeal and ability to adapt to contemporary music trends while maintaining the core elements of their signature sound. Boasting a discography replete with hits such as "リトルダンサー" and "あしたの空", SPEED's contribution to the J-pop world resonates through their passionate performances and the nostalgia of '90s Japanese pop culture. Their charity work, especially their efforts to support "Save the Children," demonstrates the group's commitment to using their platform for a greater cause, further endearing them to fans worldwide.
