:Uverworld

The six-member band known as Uverworld first formed in 2002, and were known as Sound Goku Road, (more popularly known as "Sangoku Road" in the independent music scene). The band originally consisted of seven members, and released Prime'03, a demo CD which ended up selling 3,000 copies. Unfortunately, Ryohei, the original lead vocalist, left the band. After Ryohei's departure, Ace∞Trigger renamed himself TAKUYA∞ and they changed the name to UVERworld following Akira's idea. At the band's major debut, the saxophonist Seika was rejected by their record label, and could not debut together with the rest as a full band member. He remained as a support member until his hard-earned return in 2014.

According to an interview with the band, there was another vocalist who left the band. However, this vocalist has not yet been identified. Seika is the only one of the two credited on the demo CD and pictured with very early live photos of the band pre-Uverworld.

The year 2005 was the year that the band signed with the label Gr8! Records, which is under Sony Music Records.{{cite news|url=http://news.livedoor.com/article/detail/2265976/|title=インタビュー：UVERworld「常に新しいことを」|trans-title=Interview: UVERworld "Always New Things"|website=Livedoor|date=August 1, 2006|access-date=May 18, 2018|language=ja}} The band made their debut with the single "D-tecnolife", which was the second opening theme for the anime Bleach.{{cite web|title=D-tecnolife {{!}} UVERworld|url=https://www.oricon.co.jp/prof/367787/products/600925/1/|language=ja|publisher=Oricon|date=July 6, 2005|access-date=November 29, 2009}} The single made its debut in the Oricon charts at the fourth spot with 32,000 copies together with Mr. Children's twenty-seventh single, {{nihongo|"Yonjigen Four Dimensions"|四次元 Four Dimensions}} on the top spot.{{cite web|title=UVERworld、デビュー曲がいきなりのTOP5入り!|url=https://www.oricon.co.jp/news/4597/full/|trans-title=UVERworld's debut song enters the Top 5!|language=ja|publisher=Oricon|date=July 12, 2005|access-date= November 29, 2009}} The single then later dropped to seventh place in the second week with 16,306 copies sold.{{cite web|title=2005年07月第4週のシングルランキング情報|trans-title=July 2005 single weekly ranking of the 4th week|url=https://www.oricon.co.jp/search/result.php?kbn=js&types=rnk&year=2005&month=7&week=4&submit4.x=23&submit4.y=5|language=ja|publisher=Oricon|date=July 2005|access-date=November 29, 2009}} The third week in the Oricon charts saw the single dropped 2 places to the ninth spot with 13,761 copies.{{cite web|title=2005年08月第1週のシングルランキング情報|trans-title=August 2005 single weekly ranking of the 1st week|url=https://www.oricon.co.jp/search/result.php?kbn=js&types=rnk&year=2005&month=8&week=1&submit4.x=23&submit4.y=5|language=ja|publisher=Oricon|date=August 2005|access-date=November 29, 2009}} The single lasted five weeks in the Top 30 weekly singles ranking.{{cite web|title=2005年08月第2週のシングルランキング情報|trans-title=August 2005 single weekly ranking of the 2nd week|url=https://www.oricon.co.jp/search/result.php?kbn=js&types=rnk&year=2005&month=8&week=2&submit4.x=23&submit4.y=5|language=ja|publisher=Oricon|date=August 2005|access-date= November 29, 2009}}{{cite web|title=2005年08月第3週のシングルランキング情報|trans-title=August 2005 single weekly ranking of the 3rd week|url=https://www.oricon.co.jp/search/result.php?kbn=js&types=rnk&year=2005&month=8&week=3&submit4.x=23&submit4.y=5|language=ja|publisher=Oricon|date=August 2005|access-date= November 29, 2009}} The single's sales and {{nihongo||着うたフル|Chaku-Uta Full}} downloads were certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of Japan.{{cite web|title=Japanese CD Certifications 2005|url=https://www.riaj.or.jp/f/data/cert/gd.html|language=ja|format=Select 2005年7月 on the drop-down menu|publisher=Recording Industry Association of Japan|date=July 2005|access-date= November 29, 2009}}{{cite web|title=Japanese Music Ringtone Certifications 2007|url=https://www.riaj.or.jp/f/data/cert/hs.html|format=Select 2007年3月 on the drop-down menu|language=ja|publisher=Recording Industry Association of Japan|date=March 2007|access-date=November 29, 2009}}
