FC Five started off back in early 2000, consisting of Tomy [Vocals], Hiroto [Guitar], Kousuke [Bass] and Kim [Drums]. They drew inspiration from other bands such as STRIFE and UNBROKEN, which influenced a more hardcore and metallic side of FC Five. But throughout the years they have been known to incorporate a more melodic feel into the high speed and energy filled hardcore that many have to come to know as FC Five. FC Five prefers to be described more specifically as Japanese Spazzcore with hints of hardcore, punk rock, emo and metal. Their long, sweaty and energetic shows are a testament to their music ideals, as all the members believe in rocking out on stageand having fun. They have released their own demo in 2001 which has been over 2000 copies. In early 2002, their very first EP has been come out under Gods Child Music. Over 1000 copies has been sold in a short period of time. In June 2003, Japan label 1138 records has released their full-length album which is very good in selling as well. Moreover, the first EP has been re-released after running out of stock by Gods Child Music. The record on selling keeps breaking into a new high.
FC Five also organises "SCREAMING FOR A CHANGE" a hardcore show which takes place annually in Japan and features both local and international bands. The festival has featured bands such as The Ladder Back [USA], Reprisal [Italy], Throwdown [USA], Bane [Boston], Silent Drive [Boston], Give Up The Ghost [USA], G.B.H, Shai Hulud [USA], Stretch Arm Strong [USA], Terror and Glasseater [USA]. FC Five played at the "TAIWAN FORMOZ FEST" along with fellow Japanese band "BRAHMAN" and "AUTUMN TIGER FEST" in Taiwan with "MOGWAI". FC Five have toured other South East Asian countries such as Taiwan, Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong.
In the summer 2004 they are going to HELLFEST and tour in USA 2 weeks with Stretch Arm Strong, give up the ghost, only crime, Comeback Kid, The Hope Concpiracy and Bane.
