BIOGRAPHY
Smile.dk (pronounced Smile D-K) is a Swedish Bubblegum Dance group with Malin Kernby and Veronica Larsson as the current members. The band is well-known around the world partly due to their song “Butterfly” in Dance Dance Revolution.
The members are as follows:
* Weronica Larsson
* Malin Kernby (Joined during 2nd album)
* Nina Boquist (Left group after 1st Album)
Malin, Veronica and former member Nina are not Danish; they are all from Sweden. They marketed their album in Denmark, hence the “.dk” tag.
Veronica and Nina first formed their band as Smile and published their first album Smile in 1998. It received wide attention, especially in Japan. The popular song “Butterfly” was licensed by Konami and featured in the first release of Dance Dance Revolution—a popular dance video game. After the first album, Nina left Smile and started a solo career and Malin replaced Nina in Smile. The band name was also changed from Smile to Smile.dk.
The group’s songs, particularly “Butterfly”, are often mistaken as being by the similar artists Toy-Box and, on occasion, Aqua.
In 2005, according to their manager, Smile.dk have begun a hiatus due to Veronica and Malin having become married; one with a child on the way. However, he does not believe that Smile.dk will become defunct.
In 2008 Smile.dk will return with a worldwide single and album as seen in their web site.
They will be performing live at San Japan, an anime convention located in San Antonio, Texas, USA, on August 9th, 2008. This is the first time they have ever performed in North America.
They will also be performing live at Sakura-Con 2009, an anime/manga convention located in Seattle, Washington, USA, on April 10-12, 2009
Smile.dk is the third most licensed artist in DDR history, fellow dance act Captain Jack being the first and E-Rotic, the second.

One of the most popular SMiLE songs is definately Butterfly. Not only is it know as"THE" Dance Dance Revolution song, but it has more remixes then I had ever imagined. I currently have 16 versions and I'm still collecting! The hardest one to find was definately the Cantonese version, but after searching for what seemed like forever, I finally located it!
