Tara left his former band, Panic Channel, where he was the bassist, due to hearing problems. After his hospitalization, he decided to create the duo Betty with Yuu, the former Never Crazy vocalist. They had taken part in only six events and within that time they released their maxi-single, Aka, which all 2000 copies sold out.

The newly arrived reinforcements for Tara and Yuu weren't completely unknown to the music scene as Toki, formerly Tsubasa, was in Panic Channel, Setsuki played guitar in Karen, and Kasumi took care of drums in Gimikku.

On March 13th 2006, an exceptional sold-out live celebrated the end of Betty and the beginning of 176BIZ at the Takadanobaba AREA. A week and a half later, 176BIZ released their maxi-single, Shinkai ni oboreta Sakana, on March 22nd. The single points out a more rebel side of the band, especially in songs such as Dekiai and Drag on downer. They continued with many performances and had their first oneman live "the scReaM of pRiMe" on June 20th.

176BIZ spend the whole summer preparing their first album, Atelier, which was planned to be released in September 2006 in two different versions. The limited version, which included a PV of the song Aqua on top of the 10-tracks regular album, was quickly sold out.

The band participated in the Christmas 2006 celebration which their label Maverick organized in nothing less than the Nippon Budôkan (10000 seats), where bands such as S.O.A.P., MUCC, SID, girugämesh, Tetsu69 also performed.

Since then, the band has performed on numerous events and have released one mini-album, BLEACH WAY, in July 2007. At the end of August, Tara decided to leave 176BIZ due to family-related reasons. Even with the loss of their bassist, the band will continue with activities. Kouta has now taken Tara's place.
