History
The chorus group named Ko Spellers (子スペラーズ) was formed in 2001 with the members Nagi, Mi-Mi and Meg. These members of the group were childhood friends from elementary school. In 2003, they decided to expand the group into a 4-member group, Nanaka was then admitted while the band changed its name to "BRIGHT".
On April 25, 2007, the band debuted from Rhythm Republic, Avex Group's indies label. At the average age of 17, their success got so big that they were transferred to the Avex major label Rhythm Zone. On January 16, 2008, the band released their first major label mini-album named Brightest Star. Although the mini-album didn't chart well on the Oricon charts their popularity increased.
The group has recently worked with popular singer K for their first full-length album named Notes 4 You.[2]
On April 17, 2013, it was suddenly announced through the group's blog that BRIGHT would disband after their One Man Live concerts in May. The last date that they are to perform is the 12th May in Tokyo. After their last performance, the group has said that they would part ways. This may have been due to the group's declining popularity as they struggled to gain popularity since their debut.[3][4]
