Oldcodex (stylized as OLDCODEX) is a Japanese rock band from Tokyo, Japan, formed in 2009. They performed the opening themes for the anime series Free!, Servamp and God Eater and the ending themes for Kuroko's Basketball and Togainu no Chi.
History[]
Oldcodex first announced their debut on their Myspace page in 2008. Then on October 21st, 2009, the band released its first single, 〔Blue〕. On October 3rd, 2010, the band released their debut album, "hidemind".
Oldcodex performed at Nippon Budokan on February 11, 2015.[1]
On August 4, 2021, Ta_2 announced he was going on hiatus, with Oldcodex subsequently pausing their activities as well. This announcement came shortly after Shūkan Bunshun reported that he was involved in an extramarital affair with a female work associate.[2] On August 30, 2021, Ta_2 released a statement apologizing for his "careless behavior", though whether Oldcodex will continue activities has not yet been decided.[3]
