History
AZALEA started as a small high school band with Nanami Kuon, Ichika and Futaba. They never had a band name when they started, so when they had to pick names, each of them thought about it. Nanami's idea was "Band, Band, Band" because there are three of them in a band. Ichika's idea was "Nanaichiba", it is composed with all their names together. The final name was AZALEA, which was Futaba's idea. Azalea is a name of a flower and in the language of flowers, it means "the joy of youth". They all agree to the name and made it official.

They first debuted on their school's festical stage. They swore that they would keep making music even after graduating from high school. They moved to Tokyo to continue their music career. However they never got good opportunities after they moved. After getting some recognition, Toshihiko Karasawa found them. The band plays rock as they want to express the feeling of excitement when they first started. Karasawa thinks that they should quit and AZALEA would never sell. Karasawa gives them an opportunity by making them sing his songs and have them doing a big-time dome tour within two years. He reccommends them to think about the decisions carefully.

AZALEA still rarely gets any audience and started taking part-time jobs that they nearly gave up. Nanami finally made up her mind without the knowledge of her friends, they signed a contract with Key Time. They made sure it would make them famous. However they were forced to follow Karasawa's instructions, from the costumes to the cheography. They can't stop because they also prioritize their fans.
