SPEED is a famous female Jpop group consisting of four members hailing from Okinawa Japan: Hiroko Shimabukuro, Eriko Imai, Takako Uehara, and Hitoe Arakaki.
Speed is officially the best selling female group in Japan when it comes to combined album and single’s numbers. On March 31, 2000, after 1335 days together Speed officially disbanded.
