Masterpiece and popular songs by 88Kasyo Junrei

Let me introduce songs by Hachijūhakkasho Junrei, a self-proclaimed three-piece rock band on the fringes of buoyant prog.

Their striking appearance will amaze you at first, but what’s even more surprising—and their real charm—comes when you listen to the music.

With exceptional musicianship and brilliant songwriting, they’re a standout band I highly recommend.

From the very start—where the band recreates the sound of a railroad crossing bell in the intro—it’s downright eerie.

Hachijūhakkasho Junrei, commonly known as “Hachi-Hachi,” is a three-piece indie band formed in 2006 and active in Japan.

Their eccentric lyrics and melodies are addictive, and before you know it, you’ll find yourself listening over and over—earning them a legion of fanatics.

If you experience their unique world firsthand at a live show, you might just open a Pandora’s box that was never meant to be opened.
