Forming in August 1991 as a four-piece band, the initial lineup of Hi-Standard contained lead vocalist Atsuhiko Matsumoto, bassist Akihiro Nanba, guitarist Ken Yokoyama, and drummer Akira Tsuneoka. They had their first concert that October at Kōenji 20000V in Kōenji , Tokyo. Shortly after recording their first demo tape in 1992, Matsumoto left the group in September, with bassist Nanba taking over vocal duties, solidifying Hi-Standard’s lineup as a power trio . They provided the song “Selfish Girl” to the November 1992 omnibus album Shake a Move , and two tracks to the 1993 live omnibus BQ Jap .
