PTON! - 1 Gatsu no Kaze (1月の風) (1992)

"Open Sesame!!", 1992 Vap. PTON! formed in 1987. Formed when the members were still in high school and between the ages of 15 and 17 years old, the band name apparently originates from the name of Eric Clapton, as in ClaPTON. In August of 1988, the group appeared at the Teens Music Festival competition where they won an award for best performance. In the summer of 1989, PTON! competed in another battle-of-the-bands, Yokohama High School Hotwave Festival, and although they did not win, they were approached by Vap after their performance, officially becoming a major act in 1990 and signing to the label. In May of 1991, PTON! made their major debut with the release of their first single "Da-i-su-ki" and later released their first mini-album, "Step", that July. Both the single and album had mediocre sales in the mainstream market although PTON! pushed onward and in October of 1991, the group released its second single, "Hold You", and also released their first full length album, "Open Sesame!!", in April of 1992. Neither the single or album made much of an impact either, however, and in early 1993, the group were dropped from the Vap roster. In the fall of 1993, however, PTON! would sign to Eastworld and the group would then release two singles throughout 1994 as well as their second full length album in August of 1994, "Private Trip", after a year long break from releases. The singles and album would prove to have slightly better sales than their releases with Vap, and in March of 1995, PTON! released their fifth single "My Sweet Honey", which would unfortunately have rough sales, and the group would then eventually end up splitting by the end of 1995. Frontwoman Jun (純) went on to resume her solo career, which she started when PTON! switched to Eastworld, and also started a songwriting career for other artists around this time as well. In 1998, Jun would join the group Gitane, which comprised of former members of legendary groups like Personz and G.D. Flickers, and she would also start her own project in 1999, Little Viking, which would garner cult recognition, and also began work as a radio personality. In 2003, however, both Gitane and Little Viking folded, and Jun then fully resumed her solo career and her songwriting career, both of which she kept largely on hold following the creation of Gitane and Little Viking, and also resumed her career as a radio personality. After releasing one more solo album in 2005, however, her solo career would then seemingly go on a hiatus again, although she would remain active as a radio personality until 2009. By 2010, Jun would then seemingly retire from the entertainment world in general, although in 2019, Gitane would suddenly reunite for a few lives with Jun returning from her retirement, and since then, the group have reunited once more in 2025, although Jun remains largely in her respective retirement. The guitarist of PTON!, Kenichi (憲一), went on to start a career as a songwriter and composer under his full name of Kenichi Asami (朝三憲一), which he appears to be somewhat active as today. The drummer of PTON!, Genpachi (源八), went on to join the group Flying Dutchman, which he was active in until its eventual disbandment in 1997. Genpachi then went on to become a support musician and TV music composer, which he is active as today.
