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-.

Alice Nine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
分ち合える物がある
だから今 手を差し伸べ
籠の中を見つめてる
風は華やかに 春の調べを奏で
世界の終わりで 探していた
大切な物は 只、ひとつ。
音速を越えて 融け合えば、ほら
僕達は歩き続け
時に迷い、すれ違う。
だから今 歌を贈ろう
解けた糸紡ぐように
銀河は輝いて 心を打ち抜く
跳べ、鮮やかに
太陽の碧さ 天使のパレード
変わらずにいたい この想い
同じ風景にピアノをのせて
またここで、きみに会いたい
叶うなら 願わせてくれ
忘れてしまう前に
幾つもの巡り合いの中で
いま、きみの名を呼ぼう
Earth of silence
Confused universe
Graced the beautiful name
(And I sing) buzz love song
世界の終わりで 探していたものは
終わらない明日への讃歌
失くしたカケラを埋め合わすように
いま、此処できみの名を呼ぼう
離れても 何処かのきみへ
The lyrics to Alice Nine's song "The Beautiful Name" speak of a desire for connection and understanding between individuals, even in moments of confusion and uncertainty. The opening lines suggest a sense of peace after a quiet evening, and the hope that there is something that can be shared or understood between people. The singer then extends a hand towards a basket, indicating a desire to find or connect with something deeper. The music of the spring winds plays in the background, adding to a sense of renewal and possibility.
As the lyrics continue, the singer laments the challenges of life, including getting lost and misunderstanding others. However, they offer a message of hope, suggesting that music can bring people together and revive the spirit. The song encourages the listener to jump and be vibrant, embracing the beauty of the world.
The song's title, "The Beautiful Name," comes from a repeated refrain throughout the chorus. The phrase is left open-ended, allowing the listener to interpret the meaning for themselves. The song is part of Alice Nine's second studio album, Alpha, and is notable for its combination of rock and pop elements.
