Yellow Generation (known as YeLLOW Generation in Japan) was a female J-pop trio signed under Sony Music Japan's DefSTAR Record label from 2002-2006. The group was best known for the singles Kitakaze to Taiyō (北風と太陽, North Wind and Sun),[1][2] and "Tobira no Mukō e" (扉の向こうへ, "To the Other Side of the Door"), which was the second ending theme for the anime Fullmetal Alchemist.[3]

The trio was made up of the members Yuki (ユキ), Yūko (ユウコ), and Hitomi (ヒトミ).[4] Altogether the band had released two albums and nine singles, but after a year of silence the band finally decided to part ways on November 15, 2006.
