Yellow Generation

Biography

Yellow Generation (known as YeLLOW Generation in Japan) was a female J-pop trio signed under Sony Music Japan's DefSTAR Record label from 2002-2006. The group was best known for the singles "Kitakaze to Taiyō" (北風と太陽, North Wind and Sun), and "Tobira no Mukō e" (扉の向こうへ, "To the Other Side of the Door"), which was the second ending theme for the anime Fullmetal Alchemist.
The trio was made up of the members Yuki (ユキ), Yūko (ユウコ), and Hitomi (ヒトミ). Altogether the band had released two albums and nine singles, but after a year of silence the band finally decided to part ways on November 15, 2006. A greatest hits album, titled GOLDEN☆BEST YeLLOW Generation Singles+, was later released in 2010.
