History[edit]

Mix Speaker's, Inc. began preparing to debut on December 1, 2006, from the members of Isabelle and Egurigori (エグリゴリ). They officially started February 19, 2007 and played their first live show at Niigata Club Junk Box on February 23. They played their first one-man, solo show on April 13, 2007, at Shibuya Boxx. Their next set of one-man performances in November 2007 covering three cities were sold out. Their first single, "Mix Speaker's, Box", was released prior to the band's official start, in December 2006.

During July and August 2009, they held a seven-day concert series, each day with one concept conceived by a band member, with the last day dedicated to the fans. The finale, the 8th day, is to be held at Club Citta in Kanagawa, whereas the other performances were in Tokyo proper. All seven shows were sold out, with tickets being sold for the finale after each.

The Final was held at C.C. Lemon Hall on Shibuya, Tokyo, on December 22. in 2009 and was titled "2nd Story Grand Finale [Big Bang Music!]～線路は続くよどこまでも / Senro wa Tsuzukuyo Dokomademo～".[1]
