  ## History
  
  The band began activities in 2013 under the name Snowman (スノーマン). Originally consisting of childhood friends Yūji Teraniji and Masuda, they were later joined by vocalist Mikiha, who had first heard of Snowman after they announced that they were looking for a female vocalist. At the time, she had been studying at Osaka University. In March 2015, the band released their first single "Good For Nothing", followed by their first mini-album Snow Wonderland, which was sold as a limited edition in Tower Records stores. They also began participating in several competitions throughout the country.
  
  Between 2016 and 2018, the band released several more CDs, including the split CD "Refrain" and the album Norikoeru (乗り越える), the latter of which was released in two volumes. During a live concert titled "Yuki Fes" in January 2018, the band announced that they would be changing their name to Spira Spica; the name was derived from the Latin phrase meaning "having hopes as long as one lives" and the star Spica. This was followed by the album Yuki to Hoshi to Bokura (雪と星と僕ら), their first wide release, as well as the announcement that they would be making their major debut under the Sacra Music label. On August 8, 2018, they released their first major single "Start Dash" (スタートダッシュ); the title song was used as the second ending theme for the anime television series Gundam Build Divers.
