History

No Regret Life was founded in January 2001 in Kanoya, Kagoshima, Japan, by Kazusō Oda, Ryūta Hashiguchi, and Yuka Shimokariya, who was later replaced by Genta Matsumura. They played live shows before releasing their first album Tomorrow is the Another Day in November 2002. In May 2003, they toured with Ellegarden. In April 2004, they released a mini album My Life, My Song, My Mind.
In February 2005, they signed with Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Records and released their first maxi-single on February 9, 2005 entitled "メロディー ". This was followed by their next two singles "失くした言葉 " on June 8, which was used as the 9th ending theme for the popular anime Naruto, and "あの日の未来 " on November 2. Their second album, Sign, was released on February 1, 2006.
They released two more singles in 2006: "憧れの果て " on July 19, and "右手の在処 " on November 8. Their next single, "Day by day", was released on February 14, 2007.
Their third album, Allegro, was released on March 14, 2007. After the release of Allegro, the band did not release any more albums or singles for nearly a year and a half. But finally, on August 13, 2008, they released a new single, "Can't Explain".
No Regret Life released their fourth album Wheels of Fortune on October 22, 2008. This album contains 10 songs. There are 2 promotional videos Can't Explain and ハルカカナタ. In July 2010, the band started their own label, Spiral-Motion.
