#Khaki

#MUSIC

Formed in 2018 within a band circle at Waseda University. Based in Tokyo, this five-member band creates immersive art rock. All members handle lyrics and composition, independently planning and producing everything from music recordings and music videos to merchandise and establishing their own management office. They continue to make strides with their original approach, drawing significant attention. In 2024, they held their largest solo concert to date, “Solo Concert,” at LIQUIDROOM, with tickets selling out. In 2025, they embarked on their first nationwide tour as a band, “Khaki LIVE TOUR 2025.”
