Chemistry (ケミストリー Kemisutorī, Chemistry^?) is a Japanese pop/R&B duo, composed of Yoshikuni Dōchin (堂珍嘉邦, Yoshikuni Dōchin^? born November 17, 1978) and Kaname Kawabata (川畑要, Kaname Kawabata^? born January 28, 1979). They were the winners of the Asayan audition (similar to the American Idol series) in 2000 organized by Sony Music Entertainment Japan.

Their first single "Pieces of a Dream" debuted on March 3, 2001, winning the best selling single in the same year (over 2 millions). Most of the singles released reached #1 in Oricon chart in Japan; and all 5 albums reached #1 in the Chart on the same day when they were released. Their #1 streak was taken off by the Kinki Kids' H album, scoring them a #2 rank for Fo(u)r.

Chemistry is also known in Korea for the popular collaboration song "Let's Get Together Now," featuring talents from both Korea and Japan and hooking up with Korean ballad singer Lena Park who appears in the b-side "Dance with Me" in the "Kimi ga Iru" single. The song is used as the official theme for the FIFA World Cup of 2002 co-hosted by Japan and Korea

I absolutely love this group. People may know them for their song, Wings of Words used as the last OP for Gundam Seed destiny. I got hook to them even way before that anime aired. They really started of as much like a two person Boyband image with Douchin-san being the cool guy and Kawabata-san as the *** thug. Ever since a long time ago, they have shed that image and continue to grow musically as well as in the style department. 

They sure are talented, there is no mistake in that. One thing that I am confident of saying is that Japanese talent shows really filter out the bad, the mediocre and the good. Asayan also gave birth to other groups like Morning Musume and Exile.

I made this post because I want to share the love. Also, I find it that there are so little fans of this group from the Philippines. Some of the online friends I made who are also from the Philippines are also fans of the group. But alas, they can only be counted with my fingers.

If you want samples (MP3's) please feel free to PM me and I will try my best to upload it somewhere. I got to share the love! 

CHEMISTRY yung sold out ang concert within 10 mins diba? tama ba? ^__^ 

 honestly inde ko alam, kasi most news of them is in Japanese kasi nga wala sila masyadong fans outside Japan ... and the kanji is killing me.. hahaha... pero they did sold out sunntory hall two times... so thats big accomplishment already... sayang inde pwede sumali sa official fan club nila kapag wala kang address sa japan... hehehehe... astig kasi kapag kasama ka sa official fan club kasi like for last year fans meet for a small fee you get to fly to hawaii and enjoy their company for 3nights and 2 days... oh well....

P ero I can say that they are good!! hehehe... Ok rin sila magcover ng English songs kahit inde sila marunong magsalita... I really liked nung contest days pa nila ginawan nila ng cover ung Cherie Amour and ung Love song by Sir Elton John... hehehe

ah i see, i see. hehe.

yan talaga ang hirap sa mga fan club >__<  ang hirap din talagang salihan. 

 This bit of news made my day....

Sobrang cool nung bago nilang album, ang FACE TO FACE. It's a perfect album to the rainy days na parang pwede ka nang magkape. Shucks, it's their best album yet.    

Yehey another Chemistry fan.... I have been scouring the net to find another Pinoy who is a fan of this group!!! You are an instant FRIEND!!! Hahaha feeling close... pero too bad for me wala pa akong orig na whatever sa kanila kasi wala akong means to buy online... My parents are still stuck in the jurassic era kasi they are scared of putting their credit card number online etc...

Fan po ako ng CHEMISTRY. mga 3 years na.  Una ko silang napanood sa video ni Crystal Kay. I was impressed enough with the song kaya ng makahanap ako ng cd nila, binili ko agad. Been a fan since then. Harharhar! Feeling ko nga kapag bumilibili ako ng CHEMISTRY cd, niho-hoard ko lahat.  Adik talaga! harharhar! Favorite song ko ang Pieces of a Dream.

Kunti pa lang ang cds nila na nabili ko. Andami kasing temptation sa ibang favorite ko. Mahirap talaga magmahal ng Hapon. Wah! ang mahal magmahal ng Hapon.
