They made their debut withUniversal Music in 2007. Their logo image is of a mouthful of teeth, and the four e's indicate the number of members. The sound production is handled by Hide's older brother JIN, a member ofPay Money To My Pain . [ [http://www.universal-music.co.jp/greeeen/bio.html Bio on Universal Music] ]One notable characteristic is that none of the members have ever shown their faces in the public sphere as a part of GReeeeN, whether in their
promotional video s,CD s, television performances, or theInternet . In their only performance onTV-U Fukushima 's music showMusic Bar Palo Palo (broadcast onJanuary 19 ,2007 ), the group even went as far as censoring their faces during the performance. GReeeeN cites keeping their professional lives indentistry compatible with their musical ventures as the reason, but one of the members, Hide, has hinted that after all of the members pass the state examination in dentistry and receive permission from the directors of the hospitals they work for, the group may consider a public appearance.All members studied at the dentistry department at
Ohu University , inFukushima prefecture , (Hide, Navi, and 92 have all graduated, only Soh is still in school), and the group debuted while still in school in 2007.History
