Biography
Core the Child was formed in June 2004 by Yuuki, Ryou, Shunsuke and Shou.[2] However, shortly after forming, guitarist Ryou decided to leave the band and the band recruited Tomoji as their new guitarist. After playing live shows for a while, they released their first single in September. In January 2005, Tomoji also decided to leave, which left Core the Child without a guitarist once again. However, this did not end activity; they released their first EP, Distribe, in March.
After the release of their EP, they discovered another guitarist, Yuu. In 2006, they distributed three singles for promotional purposes, but on April 18, they officially disbanded. Some members becoming inactive; others started new careers in the music industry. Vocalist Yuuki and drummer Shou started their new project, Unsraw, a few months later.
