The group moves its first steps in the music business as an indie band in may 2003, with the help of Loop Ash (Scissor, Joker, Mask, Sinkro etc..) record label. An Cafè were firstly formed by Miku (vocalist), Bou (guitar) and Kanon (bass); the group was later joined by Teruki (drums) who left his previous band, the “Feathers Blue”, in august 2003. Miku, Bou and Kanon were searching for new members to create their own band and published advertisements on “boshuu saito” websites (in Japan you may find coutless websites where people leave their advertisements to meet people with the same interests), that’s how they met and decided to try forming a band. Later they met Teruki in a live house. They firstly chose “Athletic Cafè” as a name for the band, then they opted for calling it “Antique Cafè”. The band changed name three times: from Antique Cafè to Antic Cafè and finally to An Cafè. Miku’s passion for music started when he assisted to a Kagerou live in a live house. Bou was influenced by Luna Sea instead. Kanon’s interest for music started after he had read an article about Plastic Tree on a magazine and immediately decided to assist to one of their lives. Teruki was influenced by Dir en Grey after he saw them comparing in a TV show. The band has already published 8 singles plus 1 mini album and 1 album, as well as other participations. On 17^th june 2003 their first demo tape “OPU-NGU” came out and was freely distributed as a fifty-piece limited edition. On july 2^nd of the same year they published their second demo tape “Uzumaki – Senshokutai”, this time in a three hundred-piece limited edition. Later, on august 2^nd they started performing with other bands still unknown in Europe. On september 22^nd they participated to other events related to music, this time with well known bands. After their first year as an active band, the second year (2004) starts well too.
