History:
Established by Takatsudo, Yamada, and Notaki when they were in high school, Dirty Old Men claims that they "don't really want to be Dirty Old Men, but the name comes from our secret wishes." Their original plan was to break up after high school graduation, but after winning a band competition they decided to continue.
Yamashita joined in November 2006, and they played their first headlining concert in December 2007 in their local town, Utsunomiya, Tochigi.
