Alice Nine (アリス九號., also known as A9 from 2015 to 2019)[1] is a Japanese visual kei rock band formed in Tokyo in 2004.[2] They were a part of PS Company until 2014. The band had King Records as its record label until 2010, when they joined Tokuma Japan. Then, in 2013, the band joined Universal Music Group's Nayutawave Records. They shortened their name to A9 in 2015, but switched back to Alice Nine in 2019.[3] In 2023, Alice Nine announced that they would be going on a indefinite hiatus from September 3, following a last tour that began in May.[4]

Alice Nine has released six full-length records, some of which were distributed in Europe by CLJ Records,[5] along with several EPs, singles, and DVDs.
