QoL is an internet active band unit, and we're a mixture of many kind of music.  Not just in one song, but we play a diverse category of songs.  So we could be like jazz, alternative, progressive, and etc., but could also be really pop, because we like to keep the singable melody in our songs.  Computerization and human play mixed.

Band/artist history

QoL was made in 2000.  In 2001, we won the Agent-Consipio (a minor label in Japan) band contest and distributed a couple of songs on the internet at "music@NIFTY".  We recorded a mini album at Polystar (a major label also in Japan) but dropped out of the label due to conflicting concepts.  As a result, we only expose ourselves by streaming our music at our website.
