Sejarah Awal " THE CHANGCUTERS "

Berawal dari persahabatan 3 orang pria yang hobinya exist, yaitu Tria , Qibil dan Dipa yang pada tahun 2000 berlajar di Fakultas Ilmu Komunikasi di sebuah Universitas Negeri Bandung. Selain bersama-sama kuliah di sana, mereka juga sangat gemar menghadiri acara-acara pentas musik yang marak berlangsung di kota Kembang. Dari mulai acara lokal yang skalanya kecil sampai dengan konser artis mancanegara.

Hampir tiap acara musik mereka hadiri, hingga akhirnya pada suatu malam di tahun 2004, Tria, Qibil dan Dipa memiliki sebuah gagasan untuk membentuk Band, namun bukan sembarang Band, mereka ingin sesuatu yang baru dan menyegarkan, sesuatu yang tidak biasa, bahkan luar biasa, seperti halnya pemilihan nama bandnya yaitu THE CHANGCUTERS.

Sejarah Nama Band The Changcuters

Nama The Changcuters ini dipilih secara spontan, diambil dari nama seorang teman, tepatnya teman SMP Qibil yaitu Cahya yang nama panggilannya adalah “Cangcut” Begini ceritanya: Sebenarnya nama Changcuters sudah ada jauh sebelum mereka bertiga membentuk band. Pada awalnya Tria, Qibil dan Dipa serta beberapa teman kuliah mereka sering sekali berfoto ala anak Band, dan pada masa-masa mereka hobi berfoto ria, bertemulah mereka dengan Cahya yang nama panggilannya adalah “Cangcut”, Tria, Dipa dan teman2 lainnya merasa heran dengan nama panggilan itu..mereka merasa nama Cangcut tersebut adalah nama yang lucu..akhirnya setelah bertemu si “Cangcut”, kata2 cangcut menjadi panggilan akrab mereka seperti “Apa kabar Cut?”, “Kemana aja Cut?” dan lain-lain. Karena kejadian-kejadian itulah, akhirnya folder foto mereka yang bergaya anak band tersebut, dinamai dengan Changcuters dan akhirnya ketika Tria, Dipa dan Qibil memutuskan untuk membentuk Sebuah Rock N Roll Band mereka langsung sepakat kalo nama bandnya adalah THE CHANGCUTERS

Formasi The Changcuters

Pada tanggal 19 September 2004 The Changcuters terbentuk, Pada awalnya The Changcuters beranggotakan 3 Orang saja yaitu Tria (Vokal), Qibil (Gitar) dan Dipa (Bass) lalu untuk pengisi instrument lainnya mereka mengajak Alda (Gitar) dan Erick (Drum) sebagai additional Player. Alda adalah teman SMA Qibil dan pernah juga satu Band bersama Qibil semasa SMA, sedangkan Erick juga teman seband Qibil semasa SMP dan SMA awal. Formasi ini ternyata tidak berlangsung lama, Erick hanya dapat membantu sampai pada saat pembuatan demo awal The Changcuters yang berisi 4 lagu. Erick tidak dapat membantu kita karena pada saat itu Erick masi tergabung dalam Band lain.

Setelah berlatih dengan materi-materi lagu mereka sendiri akhirnya mereka merasa siap untuk segera tampil. Karena keterbatasan relasi, akhirnya mereka mencoba mengikuti audisi band agar bisa tampil di acara tersebut. Karena Erick tidak bisa membantu pada saat itu akhirnya posisi additional drummer diambil oleh Irwan yang merupakan teman dari teman mereka. Alhamdulillah, walaupun Irwan baru sekali latihan, The Changcuters berhasil lolos audisi dan manggung untuk pertama kalinya..Audisi demi audisi telah mereka lewati dan dari semua audisi, mereka selalu lolos dan berhasil manggung.

Ternyata posisi Irwan pada drum tidak berlangsung lama, Irwan mengundurkan diri dari posisi additional drummer di tahun 2005 Akhir, setelah sebelumnya sempat membantu kita membuat demo kedua kita yang berisi 12 lag

Pada tahun 2004 tiga orang sahabat yang terdiri dari Tria, Qibil dan Dipa terinspirasi untukmembuat sebuah kelompok band, yang terutama disebabkan karena mereka seringkali terkagum-kagum saat melihat pertunJukkan berbagai musisi di panggung hiburan. Untuk mewujudkan keinginan mereka tersebut, diajaklah dua orang lagi yaitu Alda dan Erick. Maka lengkaplah formasi The Changcuters menjadi Tria pada vocal, Tambourine, dan Harmonica, Qibil pada gitar utama dan Keyboard, Dipa pada Bass dan Backing Vocal, Alda pada gitar dan Erick memainkan Drum dan Perkusi. Sejak itulah mereka meresmikan untuk memberikan akhiran Changcut pada nama ­nama tiap personel.

Tria Changcut menjadi seorang penyanyi dengan suara yang luar biasa kuat, berusaha terlihat dan bersuara seperti Mick Jagger, Jim Morrisson dan Steven Taylor, itulah sebabnya ia sering terlihat agak sedikit monyong, tetapi walaupun terlihat garang, ia memiliki perilaku yang santun namun dengan aura Rock n’ Roll yang sangat kuat.

Qibil Changcut menjadi pemain gitar yang banyak terpengaruh Noel Gallagher dan John Squire, dia mengisi tiap lagu dengan sound yang dinamis dan melodi yang ajaib.

Dipa Changcut seorang pemain bass dengan gaya yang aneh, tetapi dialah yang seringkali menjadi penentu kebijakan di dalam band, dan seringkali memiliki ide-ide aneh dan menulis lirik-lirik yang bodoh.

Alda Changcut yang pemalu ini, adalah seorang pemain gitar yang jago. Walaupun jarang berbicara dia adalah seorang heartbreaker sejati. Sebaiknya para perempuan berhati ­hatilah saat jatuh hati padanya.

Erick Changcut si penabuh drum yang misterius, tidak banyak hal yang bisa diceritakan mengenai orang ini.

Setelah The Changcuters terbentuk, segeralah mereka tampil di berbagai panggung besar dan kecil, dengan penampilan berjaket kulit dan koreografi yang dinamis. Semakin menanjaknya karir mereka, berbagai pujian dan kritikan pun mendarat di telinga mereka, namun dengan semangat pantang menyerah lima orang pemuda ini terus saja melaju dan dengan penuh percaya diri merilis album ‘MencobaSukses’.

Penampilan secara fashion mereka yang Rock n’ Roll juga tercerminkan ke dalam musik mereka yang banyak terpengaruh Rolling Stone, hanya saja mereka menggunakan tema dan lirik yang jauh lebih ringan ditambah sentuhan komedi, seperti misalnya ‘Gila-gilaan’, ‘Pria ldaman Wanita’ dan ‘Awas Angkot’.

Album tersebut menuai kritik sangat pedas dari berbagai media, sedikit sekali atau dapat dikatakan hampir tidak ada yang memberikan review baik bagi album tersebut. Tapi sepertinya hal tersebut tidak rnematahkan semangat mereka, dan merekapun terus melaju dan berhasil mendapatkan kerja sama dengan sebuah major label untuk merilis album ‘Mencoba Sukses Lagi’.

Gejalanya kali ini mereka akan lebih sukses dibandingkan sebelumnya, sudah terlihat dari munculnya wajah mereka sebagai anak band di iklan sebuah provlder selular CDMA.

Characters

Kagome Higurashi (日暮 かごめ ,Higurashi Kagome?) Voiced by: Satsuki Yukino (Japanese), Moneca Stori (English)
Kagome is a fifteen-year-old ninth grade student. She is the reincarnation of Kikyo, a miko (priestess) who died fifty years before the time Kagome first emerged from the Bone Eater's Well in the Sengoku period. Because of this, Kagome has powerful spiritual powers and can sense the shards of the Shikon Jewel, an item that is said to balance the forces of good and evil, and resembles Kikyo. Later in the series, she admits that she loves InuYasha, which is also shown when she stays with him at the end of the series.
InuYasha (犬夜叉 ?) Voiced by: Kappei Yamaguchi (Japanese), Richard Ian Cox (English)
InuYasha is a hanyō (half-demon), the product of an inu-yōkai (犬妖怪 ?, dog demon) and a human. He wields Tetsusaiga, a supernatural sword made from one of his deceased father's fangs. When properly wielded, the sword can destroy one hundred demons with a single swing. InuYasha can quickly recover from injuries that would be fatal to a human, largely due to his demonic blood. During the first night of each lunar month (new moon), InuYasha changes into a normal human with black hair and black eyes and loses his demonic powers. InuYasha was bound to Goshinboku by Kikyo's arrow for fifty years until Kagome freed him. InuYasha wears a special bead necklace that forces him to respond to Kagome's command "Osuwari!", which translates to "Sit!" in English. In the English-dubbed version, "InuYasha, sit!" or "Sit, boy!" are sometimes used instead. Following the command, InuYasha is thrown to the ground. Kaede had placed the necklace upon InuYasha because he had threatened to kill Kagome if she refused to give the Jewel of Four Souls to him.[2] As the series goes on, he begins to like Kagome more and more, shown when he will leave a battle to save her from being hurt.
Miroku (弥勒 ?) Voiced by: Kōji Tsujitani (Japanese), Kirby Morrow (English)
Miroku is a Buddhist hōshi (low-ranking, itinerant monk) who travels the countryside performing services such as exorcisms and yōkai exterminations to earn his living. He suffers from a hereditary curse originally inflicted upon his grandfather Miyatsu (also a Buddhist monk) by Naraku. The curse created a hole in his hand that became a kazaana (風洞 ?, air void or "wind tunnel") that sucks in anything that is not nailed down, regardless of its mass. However, absorbing poisons or sharp objects harms him and can decrease his total life-span, a fact Naraku takes advantage of by creating highly poisonous insects whose presence prevents Miroku from using his kazāna on Naraku or his allies. Miroku uses the kazāna as a powerful weapon against yōkai, but if the curse is not broken (by defeating Naraku), it will grow too large to control and will consume Miroku himself. Miroku is a talented con artist who does not hesitate to invent fictitious supernatural menaces, which he can then offer to combat in return for food and shelter. He has a distinct weakness for single women. He makes a point of asking every attractive woman he meets if she will bear his child, and he habitually strokes the buttocks of attractive women. Miroku eventually proposes to Sango, though this does little to curb his flirtations with other women. At the end of the series, they are married with three children.
Sango (珊瑚 ?) Voiced by: Houko Kuwashima (Japanese), Kelly Sheridan (English)
Sango is a serious yōkai taijiya (demon slayer) who hails from a village of professional demon slayers. Sango wields the Hiraikotsu, a massive boomerang made of yōkai bones, and uses a broad repertoire of tools and tricks to battle yōkai. Sango seeks revenge against Naraku for the death of her family and her entire village. In addition, Sango seeks to rescue her brother Kohaku from Naraku's influence and somehow save his life, even though Kohaku's life is tied to the jewel shard embedded in his back. She eventually develops romantic feelings for Miroku. Despite the fact that everyone, even InuYasha, notices her interest, she refuses to admit it exists. The manifestation of her interest often takes the form of hitting Miroku when he flirts with other single women. Miroku eventually returns her feelings and proposes to her. At the end of the series, they are married with three children.
Shippo (七宝 ,Shippō?) Voiced by: Kumiko Watanabe (Japanese), Jillian Michaels (English)
Shippo is a young orphan kitsune (fox demon) whose father was killed by the Thunder Brothers, Hiten and Manten, and the first character in the story to join InuYasha and Kagome in their travels. Shippo can shape shift, but his forms are temporary and often incomplete and ineffective, such that he is usually given away by his tail. His other noteworthy abilities are using illusionary tricks with toys like his giant spinning top attack, using his race's notable foxfire magic, and duplicating things, such as leaves or his own body. He tends to be naively observant and often makes pointed and cheeky comments directed towards InuYasha, earning him a retaliatory rap on the head for his unsolicited "advice".
Kirara (雲母 ?) Voiced by: Tarako
Kirara is Sango's faithful nekomata. She has cream-colored fur, black ears, two black stripes on each of her two bushy tails near the tip, and black-tipped paws. Kirara can change between two forms: a ferocious lion-sized yōkai with the ability to fly, and a cute kitten. Sango, Miroku, and Shippo often use Kirara's flying ability as transportation in order to keep up with InuYasha. (In the English dub, her name is pronounced "Kee-Lah-Lah", because the Japanese language treats "r" and "l" as one phoneme.)
Sesshomaru (殺生丸 ,Sesshōmaru?) Voiced by: Ken Narita (Japanese), David Kaye (English)
Sesshomaru is the yōkai son of the powerful Inu no Taishou and InuYasha's half-brother. Sesshomaru believes that struggle is the only way to survive, and throughout most of the series, he shows his contempt for InuYasha. Although Sesshomaru inherited his father's Tenseiga, which can bring a hundred people back to life with a single swing, he originally coveted InuYasha's inheritance, a powerful sword. However, a spell was cast on the sword so that a full yōkai cannot touch it without burning his flesh. Despite knowing that he cannot touch the sword, Sesshomaru still desires to take it from InuYasha. Throughout the series, Sesshomaru's compassion gradually grows as his rivalry with InuYasha decreases.
Naraku (奈落 ?)Voiced by: Toshiyuki Morikawa (Japanese), Paul Dobson (English)
The main antagonist, Naraku (literally means "underworld", or "hell") is responsible for nearly every character’s suffering throughout the series. He is a hanyō that originated from a bandit named Onigumo ("Demon Spider"). Unlike InuYasha, he can choose the time of the month when he becomes his weak human form. Like InuYasha, Naraku's main goal is to collect all of the shards of the Shikon no Tama in order to become a full yōkai. He had feelings for Kikyo because of Onigumo's love for her while he was alive. Later, he expels his human heart and with it his feelings for Kikyo and his human half, making him a full demon.
