Trivia

Originally, upon the suggestion of his friend, Shibuya Ryuta wanted to name the band "Thumbtack" (画鋲). The name "Super Beaver" came about when Yanagisawa Ryota suggested naming the band after an animal. The word "Super" was added randomly. There is no particular deeper meaning to the band's name. The band was formed in 2005 where Shibuya Ryuta, Uesugi Kenta and Yanagisawa Ryota were high school seniors and juniors. While Fujiwara Hiroaki was Yanagisawa Ryota's childhood friend. In 2005, the band joined the Yamaha Music Foundation's Teens' Music Festival National Tournament (TEENS' MUSIC FESTIVAL 2005 全国大会) and won the Audience Grand Prize (オーディエンス大賞). The following year, they won both the Grand Prize and the Audience Grand Prize (ティーンズ大賞とオーディエンス大賞). Super Beaver is the first band under the private label [NOiD], which was founded by Shibuya eggman's staff, Yuma. Super Beaver hosts a radio show called "Beaver Locks!" (ビーバーLocks!) on Tokyo FM/JFN 38 every Friday from 10:30PM.
