1) Make My Day is a Japanese metalcore band based in Tokyo. The band's current lineup consists of Isam as the vocalist, Julian as the guitarist and backing vocalist, U-SUKE as the bassist, and Tkken as the drummer. They are signed to EMI Records Japan and Universal Music Japan.
The band was originally formed in July 2010 under the name Ashley Scared The Sky. The original lineup consisted of Kentaro as the vocalist, Julian on 6-string guitar and chorus, Moo on 4-string bass and Nori on drums.
In their early years, the band showcased a blend of screamo and metalcore, drawing inspiration from Julian's half-American and Hispanic background. They made their debut with "The Prayer EP" in July 2011, released via Garimpeiro Records.
As Ashley Scared The Sky, the band gained attention for their well-balanced fusion of rock sounds, featuring catchy melodies, edgy guitar riffs, and uplifting synth elements. They collaborated with notable Japanese bands like Crossfaith and Pay Money To My Pain, as well as American bands like A Skylit Drive and We Came As Romans. The band embarked on extensive tours both in Japan and abroad, reaching the finals of the Red Bull sponsored band contest "Live On The Road" and performing at SHIBUYA AX in front of an audience of over 2000 people alongside Story Of The Year and ONE OK ROCK.
In May 2013, they released the single "The Revival" and participated in the "Jack Cloth Summer Fest 2013" in Indonesia, where they played for a crowd of 10,000 people.
In July 2013, the band announced their transfer to Universal Music and made their major debut with the EP "Thanatophobia" in September of the same year. Shortly after the release, the harsh vocalist Kentaro left the band in October. Despite this, they continued to perform with support vocalists while preparing for a new lineup. When they joined up with their new vocalist Julian, the band changed their name to MAKE MY DAY on October 28, 2013.
Their first album, "Relentless," achieved success on tours throughout Japan, leading them to perform as an opening act for KNOT FEST JAPAN 2014 in front of over 10,000 people. In 2014, bassist Moo left the band and was replaced by U-SUKE. Subsequently, the band continued to collaborate with prominent artists such as ONE OK ROCK, Hoobastank, and Asking Alexandria, while actively engaging in releases and tours.
In 2017, they welcomed their new drummer HAL and performed at two overseas tours. In 2019, Julian was selected as a guitarist for L'Arc-en-Ciel's vocalist HYDE's solo tour.
In 2020, they released their 2nd album "Mind Haven" and started a nationwide tour, which was impacted by the pandemic and had to be abandoned. However, the band remained resilient, releasing music and conducting tours while adhering to guidelines.
In August 2021, they held their first independent event "SCREAM OUT LOUD FEST", utilizing two venues. All tickets sold out.
In 2022, drummer Hal left the band after playing with them for five years, and they welcomed Tkken as they embarked on a new chapter in their musical journey.
