Mean Machine is an all-girl Japanese rock band. In 1998, Mean Machine was started by Chara and Chiwaki on a whim, choosing the themes "have fun", "cute with pheromones", and "play an instrument you never have before" to guide their band, and friends to join as members.[citation needed] Mean Machine starred in the Tower Records "No Music, No Life" advertising campaign, and debuted in 2001.
