[edit] Announcement
In October 2005, Teru announced on his radio show "Teru Me" that he would be forming a side project with current bandmate Hisashi as well as The Mad Capsule Markets' Motokatsu and former Thee Michelle Gun Elephant bassist Koji. Despite this announcement, no other information was given, including the band name. Teru told fans that they had to wait until the following month to hear further information.
True to his word, more information crept out about the band within a month. The band would be called 'Rally' and their first recording would be a cover of 'Aku no Hana' by Buck-Tick for an upcoming tribute album called PARADE~RESPECTIVE TRACKS OF BUCK-TICK~.
[edit] First Release
Their first release was released on 2005/12/21 via Sony BMG Music in Japan. It was released to warm reviews and featured other covers by artists such as Ken Ishii, J and BALZAC.
