Real name: 駄菓子菓子

Effective period / Period of releases: 2002

The band was formed in 1997, as a new wave duo first called "Squash" (ぐにゃり). The members where Mera-Dono on vocals / bass and E.Shima Terushige on guitar / synth. The next year, they start to doing some hard rock music and rennamed themselves "Dagashi Kashi" (駄菓子菓子), with in bonus new members.

As long as the year was going, they lose all the new members. They only found a new drummer in 1999, but it's in 2000 that the bassist Sakaidesan discover the band (and became part of it) and also introduce Dagashi Kashi to his label: "Hormone Tank Record". They also released their first album "Botai Nai Sekai" (母胎内世界).

Even if the line-up staid unstable, they could release their second reccord, "Jingaikyou No Heya" (人外境の部屋) in 2002. In the same year, they been asked to be part of the compilation "Ugou no Shuu" (烏合の衆), with several other japanese punk-rock bands.

In 2003, they even tour into the USA. The two former members decided to create an alter-ego to the band with their new-wave concept. The duo was called "Katakata 16 Fun" (カタカタ16分). They also released their third record "Kokoro Mushi" (こころむし).

In 2004, the label "Satsugai Enka Vinyl" (that made the "Ugou no Shuu" (烏合の衆) compilation) decided to made a remix album of a couple of songs from the band. It was called "Dagui" (駄喰).

In 2006, E.Shima Terushige, one of the founder of the band quit, leaving the band in mourning. They finally released another album in 2007, called "Amida Kudi" (阿弥陀くぢ), with the same spirit than their first album, even if we thought his spirit has died with the years: their old school side is stronger than the time !

Then, the shows were rares and they didn't release anything since 2010, when Mera-Dono released her first solo single. The sells of the album give back the taste to the band to come up with a fifth album: "Bonnou Go Dan Katsuyou" (煩悩五段活用).
They made a hommage show to "新宿LOFT", a guitarist of session of the band that died.

Then, the line-up changed a lot with the time, so the band had decided to record nothing since they will be stabilized.
