Drummer Nao formed the band in 2004, recruiting vocalist Shou and guitarist Tora from the band ギブス which had just split up, and they were signed to the PS COMPANY indies label Indie-PSC. Their first single 「名前は、未だ無ひ。」 was released the same year. During their first year, they did small tours with other Japanese bands. Their first oneman tour was held in August 2005 in Japan. After a sold out gig in Tokyo the same year, Alice Nine became more popular in Japan, and went major on KING RECORDS under the management PS COMPANY. In 2007 they were signed in Europe by CLJ Records.
In May 2007, Alice Nine was performing their debut show in America, during the Jrock Revolution Festival at The Wiltern in Los Angeles. In December Alice Nine was doing their first performance ever in Europe. They were one of the five bands at J-ROCK INVASION EPISODE 1 festival in Cologne, Germany.
On June 2, 2009, a blog entry by vocalist Shou announced the changing of their name from アリス九號. and alice nine. to Alice Nine for media reasons. He explained that the Japanese transcription was beginning to lose its purpose as a means to "represent aesthetics" and that the English transcription was closest to the band's original intention.
From March 1st 2015 the band became independent from their label TOKUMA JAPAN COMMUNICATIONS and changed their name to A9. However, in August 2019 they informed that they will change the band's name back to Alice Nine / アリス九號.
Alice Nine have released eight full albums, 絶景色 (2005), Alpha (2007), VANDALIZE (2009), GEMINI (2011), "9" (2012), Supernova (2014), IDEAL (2017) and PLANET NINE (2018).
Their next single will be released in October 2019 and it's titled as 革命開花-Revolutionary Blooming-.

DAYBREAK
Alice Nine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
賽はとうに投げられ
Our lives on the edge
伸るか反るかのDayz
足掻いてるなら
傷ついた意味もあるだろう?
消してはまた描いて
決して醒めぬ夢まで
見上げた Daybreak
確かなものはないさ
昨日までの過去さえ
重荷は翼にもなるから
I think so 夜を明かそう
LaLa, Breaking up fake days,
Tonight
まだまだ始まっちゃいない
Winding road
乗りかけた列車なら
Go to the last stop
雨と涙のKiss 乾く猶予もない
真夜中のトビラを蹴破れ
知ったふりの明日も
空回りの昨日も
全ては無駄じゃないと
伝えたいから
どんな病める時にも
いつも支えてくれた
只、君の笑顔が欲しくて
僕は此処にいるんだ
So I wish you get all happiness
And I wish you walk
until the end
I want nothing else
I want nothing else
If only you were here
見上げれば 世界には
知らない事ばかりで
地図を破り捨てて 掲げた Daybreak
確かなものはないさ
昨日までの過去さえ
重荷は翼にもなるから
I think so 夜を明かそう
LaLa, Breaking up fake days
形はなくとも 歌は消えずに
そばに居るよ

Genjō to risō no hazama ni tachi sai wa tōni nage rare
Our lives on the edge
Norukasoruka no Dayz
Agai terunara kizutsuita imi mo arudarou?
Keshite wa mata kaite kesshite samenu yume made
Chizu o yaburi sutete miageta Daybreak
Tashikana mono wa nai sa kinō made no kako sae
Omoni wa tsubasa ni mo narukara I think so
Yoru o akasou
LaLa, Breaking up fake days, Tonight
Madamada hajimatcha inai Winding road
Nori kaketa resshanara Go to the last stop
Ame to namida no kisu kawaku yūyo mo nai mayonaka no tobira o keyabure
Shitta furi no ashita mo karamawari no kinō mo
Subete wa muda janai to tsutaetaikara
Donna yameru toki ni mo itsumo sasaete kureta
Tada, kimi no egao ga hoshikute boku wa koko ni iru nda
So I wish you get all happiness
And I wish you walk until the end
I want nothing else
I want nothing else
If only you were here
Miagereba sekai ni wa shiranai koto bakaride
Chizu o yaburi sutete kakageta Daybreak
Tashikana mono wa nai sa kinō made no kako sae
Omoni wa tsubasa ni mo narukara, I think so
yoru o akasou
LaLa, Breaking up fake days
Katachi wanakutomo uta wa kiezu ni soba ni iru yo

この曲がリリースされたのって確か5月だったと思うんだよね。
向いてない部署に異動させられたけどこの曲の歌詞一つ一つが自分を立ち上がらせてくれたし背中を押してくれて本当に感謝してます。
重荷は翼にもなるから。
最終的に向いていた部署に戻してもらえて良かったです。

この歌を着信にして3年ほどが経ちます。
高校の時にずっと聴いていて親友と富士急コニファーフォレスト、名古屋ボトムラインなどよくライブに行かせていただいていました。今のA9もいいのですがこの当時にしかないものも沢山あります。
青春時代を共に過ごした音楽は一生大切にしたいです。
