Zigzo (stylized as ZIGZO) is a Japanese rock supergroup that originally started activities in 1999 and disbanded in 2002.[1] Each member came from a prominent band and they became very popular in the indies scene. They disbanded after their last show on March 16, 2002, reportedly due to musical differences.
Tetsu formed Nil, The JuneJulyAugust and started his own record label, Ryo and Den formed the bands Pt. and Test-No., and Sakura joined Sons of All Pussys, Creature Creature, Rayflower and became guitarist for Lion Heads. In May 2011, Ryo, Den and Sakura teamed up again, this time to reform By-Sex.
On November 20, 2011, Sakura held a birthday concert at Shibuya O-West where each member performed with their current bands.[2] However, together they performed a surprise set as Zigzo and announced that they will officially restart activities at a concert on March 17, 2012 at Akasaka Blitz titled "The 2nd Scene Zigzo".[2][3] At the show they will released a live album that was recorded at a rehearsal on June 6, 2011.[2][4]
