History

[edit]

Voice actors Hiroshi Kamiya (known by the stage name Hiro-C) and Daisuke Ono (known by the stage name Ono-D) are hosts for the radio program Hiroshi Kamiya and Daisuke Ono's Dear Girl: Stories, which had been broadcasting on Nippon Cultural Broadcasting since 2007. They, along with other staff members of the show, formed the band Masochistic Ono Band.[2] The four members recruited for their group consist of Dear Girl: Stories' writers Masaru Suwa [ja] (known by the stage name Do-S)[3] and Yōhei Kobayashi [ja] (known by the stage name Chanko) as well as 3M and Yagi84. Masochistic Ono Band made their first appearance in February 2013 during a live event for Dear Girl: Stories, titled Dear Girl: Stories Festival Carnival Matsuri.[4]

Masochistic Ono Band released their debut single, "Ace of Asia", on February 15, 2014 as the theme song to Dear Girl: Stories's second film, Dear Girl: Stories The Movie 2: Ace of Asia, which documented the group's trip in Hong Kong.[5] The film was partly produced to record the music video for "Ace of Asia."[4] On December 10, 2014, Masochistic Ono Band made their major label debut through their debut extended play, Masochistic Over Beat,[4] which also consisted of their versions of "Dear wa Nemuranai", "Say Your Name! (Dear Girl)", and "Dirty Agent", songs that were originally recorded by Kamiya and Ono for Dear Girl: Stories.[6] They embarked on their first live tour, titled What is Rock?, in 2015.[6]

On February 8, 2018, Masochistic Ono Band released their second single, "Mighty Heart."[2] From April 21 to 22, the group performed at DGS VS MOB Live Survive, a joint event with Dear Girl: Stories.[3][7] After the event, the group briefly went on hiatus.[8]

On June 9, 2020, Masochistic Ono Band returned from hiatus with the release of their second extended play, 6.9 (pronounced "Rock Tenkyū").[8] The extended play focused on the theme of "six", where each of the six members of the band composed one song, and it was released on Do-S's birthday, June 9.[8] "Like a Fake", which was written by Hiro-C, was used as an opening song for Dear Girl: Stories.[8] Masochistic Ono Band embarked on a nationwide tour titled Rock Thank You! from July to September 2020.[9] One of the shows, titled Rock Thank You! Stay Home Stay Rock! Tour Final was livestreamed on YouTube and Niconico, on July 5, 2020.[10] On the final day of the tour, Masochistic Ono Band announced that they are performing the theme song to the 2021 anime series Bonobono under the name Masochistic Bono Band.[11]
