## History

### 2011

Team Syachihoko's first appearance was at the All-Person Interview Audition held at Nagoya PARCO on September 11th, 2011. At the time the group consisted of Akimoto Honoka, Sakura Nao, Ando Yuzu, Oguro Yuzuki, and Sakamoto Haruna. Later on, in November 2011, Ito Chuyuri joined the group as the sixth member.

### 2012

The group made their street debut at Nagoya Castle on April 7th 2012. After releasing two independent singles, they signed a 10 year contract with Warner Music Japan's record label unBORDE in August 2012. On October 31st, 2012 they made their Nagoya Major Debut with the release of their third single overall titled "The Stardust Bowling". The group held their first full concert on December 30th, 2012 at Nagoya CLUB QUATTRO.

### 2013

On April 5th, 2013 their first TV show, Yuru Syachi (ゆるしゃち - Laid-back Syachi) started airing on Metele. The show would go on to have 147 episodes, with the final episode airing on March 24th, 2017. On June 19th, 2013 they made their Nationwide Major Debut with the release of their fourth single "Shuto Iten Keikaku" (首都移転計画).

### 2014

On August 28th, 2014 they held their first Nippon Budokan concert, titled "SYACHI SUMMER 2014 - Festival of the Gods" (しゃちサマ2014〜神々の祭り〜).

### 2015

On March 13th, 2015 they appeared as guests at Basement Jaxx's concert at Toyosu PIT, Tokyo, to perform the Japanese version of Basement Jaxx's song "Back to the Wild".

On October 28th, 2015 Ando Yuzu announced she was going on hiatus due to vertigo. She would eventually graduate from the group while on hiatus on September 29th, 2016.

### 2016

For Team Syachihoko, 2016 was titled VICTORY YEAR, with multiple performances at large venues in Japan.

They held their second Nippon Budokan concert "SHACHI SUMMER 2016: Midsummer POWER BALL" (しゃちサマ2016 真夏のPOWER BALL) on August 31st, 2016. At the end of the show, the members, under their own initiative and without informing their management, surprised the audience with a performance of "colors", one of their most popular songs. The song had not originally been included in the concert's setlist. When the members had voiced their concerns over the song's exclusion from the concert, they had been ignored by their management. This is why they took it upon themselves to perform the song at the end. This was a turning point for the members, who previously had been performing the setlists prepared for them by management, to become more active in the planning of the content of their concerts.

With the succesful surprising performance of "colors", the title of their subsequent concert at Yokohama Arena on November 13th, 2016, was changed from "Syachihoko Great March" (鯱大行進) to "colors". This concert was the first time the members were involved in the planning of the setlist, costumers, direction, and composition of the concert.

### 2017

On April 21st, 2017, their second TV show Kuro Syachi (黒鯱 - Black Syachi) started airing on Metele. The show would go on to have 38 episodes, with the final episode airing on April 20th, 2018.

### 2018

On August 3rd, 2018 Ito Chiyuri announced that she would graduate from the group on October 22nd.

Ito Chiyuri's graduation concert, "TEAM SYACHIHOKO THE LIVE 〜FINAL〜" was held at Zepp Nagoya on October 22nd.

With Ito Chiyuri's graduation and all the members going into theur 20s, the remaining members decided to rebrand themselves.

After the final Team Syachihoko concert on October 22nd, 2018 a special issue was distributed at the venue, announcing that the name of the group would change to TEAM SHACHI and that fans would be called Tough-min (タフ民 - tough people).

TEAM SHACHI's first concert, "Full Speed Ahead" (全速前進) was held at Zepp Nagoya the very next day, October 23rd, 2018. They performed two new songs - "DREAMERS" and "ROSE FIGHTERS". Their catchphrase was changed to "Super tough strong energy positive exciting soul from Nagoya, we are SHACHI".

Oguro Yuzuki produced the song "You".

### 2020

Following the outbreak of the Covid-19 global pandemic, their April 19th, 2020 concert at LINE CUBE SHIBUYA in Tokyo was postponed. A crowdfunding campaign was subsequently announced to help fund a concert without an audience at LINE CUBE SHIBUYA. More than 10 million yen were raised for the concert, which was held on July 28th and was titled "TEAM SHACHI TOUR 2020 Different Space: Spectacle Streaming Show "ZERO"" (TEAM SHACHI TOUR 2020〜異空間〜：Spectacle Streaming Show “ZERO”).
