Formed in the summer of 2021 by Kei Satow (Vo/Gt), yukai the nippon (Gt/Cho), Charlie (Ba/Cho), and Shirokuma (Dr/Cho), the band is a “Japanese song rock band for all ages” that performs mainly in Tokyo. The band's lyrics are full of Satow's humanity, and the vivid band sound that colors the nostalgic melodies is ear-catching and has been gaining support. From Tokyo to the whole country, regardless of genre or scene, the band is expanding its activities by performing at “MURO FESTIVAL” and “SUMMER SONIC” in 2024.
