2019–2021: Formation and early works

[edit]

Moto, Maika and Lily all met while attending "Ongaku Juku Voice" music school in Tokyo, where they were enrolled in the singer-songwriter course. In 2019, they formed a band following a suggestion from their teacher.[2] The initial portion of the band's name, Chilli Beans, was inspired by Red Hot Chilli Peppers, as they felt that they shared the American's band's forward-looking approach to music. The latter component, 'beans', was incorporated to signify the band's potential for growth in the future.[7] Shortly after the band's formation Lily switched over to "DTM course" to learn music production.[8] The band started work on new material, completing their first song "Lemonade" in August of the same year.[9] The song was jointly written by all members based on a chord progression made by Lily. While discussing the song during their class, their classmate Vaundy suggested some modifications, and subsequently co-arranged the final version of the song. He would go on to collaborate with the band on future projects.[10]

Chilli Beans. released their debut EP titled "d a n c i n g a l o n e" in August 2021, debuting at rank 38 on Oricon's weekly album charts. The first track from the EP "Lemonade" took the number one spot on Spotify's "Viral 50 - Japan" playlist. Music video for the song "Lemonade" was also released simultaneously, which was followed by a music video for "Shekirara" in November of the same year. Their 2nd single "Andron" was released on 24 November, exclusively on digital platforms.
