Histori
Veronica Almqvist and Nina Boquist were first formed as Smile, and released their first album Smile in 1998. It received significant attention in Japan. The first single from the album, "Butterfly", was licensed by Konami and featured in the first release of Dance Dance Revolution , a popular dance video game. The second single from the album, "Boys", paid tribute to Sabrina Salerno's hit "Boys (Summertime Love)". The album was later re-released with new artwork and bonus songs in Japan, where it was certified gold for 100,000 copies sent to stores.
After the release of Smile , Boquist left the band to start a solo career and was replaced by Malin Kernby. During this time, the band's name changed from Smile to Smile.dk, as they are being marketed in Denmark. They released two studio albums under this line-up, Future Girls in 2000 and Golden Sky in 2002.
In 2005, according to their manager, Smile.dk has started a hiatus because both Almqvist and Kernby have been married; Kernby with a kid on the street. However, he does not believe that Smile.dk will be dead, which is proven to be true with their comeback, albeit without Kernby.
