2019–2021: Formation and early works

[edit]

Moto, Maika and Lily all met while attending "Ongaku Juku Voice" music school in Tokyo, where they were enrolled in the singer-songwriter course. In 2019, they formed a band following a suggestion from their teacher.[2] The initial portion of the band's name, Chilli Beans, was inspired by Red Hot Chilli Peppers, as they felt that they shared the American's band's forward-looking approach to music. The latter component, 'beans', was incorporated to signify the band's potential for growth in the future.[7] Shortly after the band's formation Lily switched over to "DTM course" to learn music production.[8] The band started work on new material, completing their first song "Lemonade" in August of the same year.[9] The song was jointly written by all members based on a chord progression made by Lily. While discussing the song during their class, their classmate Vaundy suggested some modifications, and subsequently co-arranged the final version of the song. He would go on to collaborate with the band on future projects.[10]

Chilli Beans. released their debut EP titled "d a n c i n g a l o n e" in August 2021, debuting at rank 38 on Oricon's weekly album charts. The first track from the EP "Lemonade" took the number one spot on Spotify's "Viral 50 - Japan" playlist. Music video for the song "Lemonade" was also released simultaneously, which was followed by a music video for "Shekirara" in November of the same year. Their 2nd single "Andron" was released on 24 November, exclusively on digital platforms. The band's 2nd EP "Daydream was released in March 2022.[11] It peaked at #43 on Oricon's weekly charts.[12] In the same month, their first set of two-man live shows titled "Dancing Room" were held at Tokyo and Osaka.[13] A second set of two-man live shows were held in Tokyo on 18 June in Tokyo and 25 September in Osaka, with the latter being rescheduled after a member was tested positive for COVID-19.[14]
