SHULA – Japanese visual kei band founded in 1999 by vocalist Mao and guitarist U-ZI.

In 2000, they were joined by bassist Shinsuke, and two years later by drummer Yuuya.

The beginnings of the band
SHULA developed its activities most dynamically in 2000, even though it formed a year earlier. Apart from later appearances on many omnibuses, so far the group has only released demo albums, in sequence, "Omohida Kisa Remix (jap. 思ひ出喫茶～リミックス～ Omohida Kisa Rimikkusu)", "Omohida Kissa Kiiro (jap. 思ひ出喫茶黄色)" , "LOVE SLAVE UNDER THE LIPS" , ☆SHULA☆ Akairo (jap. ☆SHULA☆ 赤色) , ☆SHULA☆ Kiiro (jap. ☆SHULA☆黄色) , Omohida Kissa Akairo (jap. 思ひ出喫茶赤色) oraz 「USOTSUKI」 (jap. 「ウソツキ」).

2000
In October 2000, the song "Pure Mind" by SHULA was released on the album "STONING", a compilation of ten songs by Japanese bands. Just a month later, its second edition titled "STONING2" was released, containing eleven songs, including"one night over" along with "Tenohira kara Kieru Natsu (jap. 手のひらから消えた夏)".

Another demo "Mai (jap. 舞)" was released the next month.

2001
On the last day of January 2002, the band appeared in an omnibus for the third time among ten other songs included in "make an epoch". "Mai (jap. 舞)" previously released as a demo ended the entire compilation.

On February 15, SHULA's first mini-album titled "Shu-la-tic" entered the Japanese market. Despite its low popularity, the musicians were not discouraged from further developing their careers. After a few months, the song "Koibumi ~LOVE SICK LETTER~ (jap. 恋文~LOVE SICK LETTER~)" became part of the continuation of the "make an epoch" album, titled "make an epoch 2".

The single "~What's up~", which was distributed from November 28, was much better-received than the first EP "Shu-la-tic". Within exactly one month of the last omnibus release, another demo "Yasashii Yoru, Tsumetai Asa / Rock☆Star (jap. 優しい夜、冷たい朝 / ロック☆スター)" was made public.

2002
On 9th March 2002, the band performed in the omnibus "Cry for the moon Vol.8" along with six other groups of musicians.. The song "What's up" is the only known element of the album, no information about the rest has been preserved except for their authors.

In the same year, the promotional video "What's up" was released in the form of a VHS cassette. The recording hasn't stood the test of time and is currently not available to anyone, excluding owners of its original publication.

On August 5, a video of the "precious mover" event that took place on April 2, 2002 at Ikebukuro CYBER was also recorded on magnetic tape. It contains a short comment by each band and a clip of their performance. Interestingly, apparently the group SEPHILA also played a concert at that time, but it wasn't recorded.

Just 22 days later, SHULA and A⇔REAL join forces. They made a new compilation "Young Man (Y.M.C.A.)/De' I know story" , containing the two title songs.

Na temat czternastej części wydania zbiorowego "Cry for the moon" niewiele wiadomo, podobnie, jak w przypadku ósmej. Płyty róźni jednak to, że z październikowej edycji nie zachowała się w żadnym stopniu lista piosenek - znani są tylko i wyłącznie ich wykonawcy.

2003
2003 rok okazał się być ostatnim rokiem istnienia SHULA. Mimo że zespół zeprzestał wydawania kolejnych albumów, zagrał jeden koncert w Ikebukuro CYBER, po czym rozpadł się z niewiadomych przyczyn.
