Sunpinku pandā
Pink Powder was a Kansai rock band formed in 1997 and disbanded in 2004, consisting of vocalist/bassist Hatsue, guitarist Teppei, and Etsuko—the “too-beautiful drummer” who drew much attention.
The former bassist Takatoshi, who left the band, is from Tottori Prefecture.
Under the production of Masahide Sakuma, who worked with many legendary bands such as GLAY and JUDY AND MARY, they made their major debut in 2001 with the single “STEP.” The band name—coined by Hatsue—reflects their musical aims, evoking a liberating, glittering brightness that feels pleasantly open.
The cute vocals are reminiscent of YUKI, and this is a band I recommend to anyone seeking nostalgic, truly good punk rock!

Harmony Xkari bando
Musicians who specialize in playing behind artists are called session musicians.
Becoming a session musician requires exceptional skill; only those who can truly be called performance specialists make the cut.
KARI BAND, which includes drummer Yuno Maeda from Tottori Prefecture, is a band formed by such session musicians.
When they were thinking of a band name, nothing in particular came to mind, so they simply went with “KARI BAND” (“Temporary Band”).
Virtuosic technique delivered within a composed, refined sound—it’s the pinnacle: a pure, unadulterated tone achievable only by those who pursue music to the utmost.
