When it comes to rock bands from Aichi Prefecture, you can’t leave out coldrain, a central force in the loud rock scene.
The band was formed after AVER, which Masato and Katsuma were in, and Wheel Of Life, which RxYxO, Y.K.C, and Sugi were in, both disbanded.
Since their formation, they’ve been highly active, making their major debut in 2008 and steadily gaining support in the scene with a string of releases.
A pivotal moment in their career was BLARE FEST., their self-hosted festival held in their hometown of Nagoya in 2020.

sabotageRyokushokushakai
When it comes to bands from Aichi Prefecture, RyokuShaka—aka Ryokushaka (Ryokuoushoku Shakai)—immediately comes to mind! Formed in 2012 by high school classmates and childhood friends, their endlessly poppy, colorful worldview is dazzling and wonderful.
The dynamic range unique to a mixed-gender band and vocalist Haruko Nagaya’s voice well up from deep within with a quiet emotional power that really hits you in the heart.
It’s like a treasure box of sound! Their signature song “sabotage” was the theme for the drama G Senjou no Anata to Watashi.
Their band name originated from a mishearing, but it beautifully reflects their color and identity, don’t you think?

Ohashi and Mr.

Although the two met when Ohashi was in high school, their activities as Sukima Switch began a bit later.
When Ohashi was pursuing music on his own, he asked Tokita to arrange one of his songs.
