The band’s guitarist and vocalist, Abi Utaoji, was born in 1992 and hails from Miyazaki Prefecture.
All of Beran Parade’s songs are written and composed by Utaoji.
Their music—at once heart-tuggingly bittersweet and somehow nostalgic—has earned them a particularly strong following among younger generations.
Their look is also distinctive, with a mushroom haircut serving as their trademark.

tabooAiri Toyama
She won the Ralyon Girl Grand Prix in 2003 and made her entertainment industry debut.
She debuted as a singer in 2004 under the name pink feat.
mc A&T/taboo.
She is also active as an actress, and in the 2005 film “Tobi ga Kururi to,” she appeared as the daughter of actor Sho Aikawa.
piercingKubota Kai
Kobuta Kai, often hailed as a new-generation rapper from Fukuoka.
He apparently uploaded several of his own tracks to YouTube, and the response led to his debut.
That story alone already gives off big-star vibes, doesn’t it? The first artist he ever loved was Kobukuro, and that might be where the freedom in his music—though he’s labeled a rapper—really shows.
I personally recommend his song “Pierce”; the lyric that likens the hollow left by heartbreak to a pierced ear hole is brilliant.
Toughness and tenderness, mellow and melancholic—his music shifts through countless shades.
You won’t regret giving it a listen!
