Let me introduce songs by Halo at Yojohan, a four-piece rock band that began activity in 2012 and has really come into its own over the past few years.

Their appeal lies, above all, in their straightforward style—what you could call ultra-orthodox, melody-driven guitar rock.

They’re one of the bands poised for even greater breakthroughs, so keep an eye on them!

They are a four-piece rock band consisting of Kohei Saiki on guitar and chorus, Shota Watai on vocals and guitar, Masato Shirai on bass, and Ryo Katayama on drums and chorus.

They hail from Chiba Prefectural Sakura High School, where they formed a precursor band while still students.

The band name signifies a group positioned between two realms: “Halo,” which evokes something far beyond the bounds of imagination—the spherical region surrounding the outside of a galaxy—and “Four-and-a-half Tatami,” which symbolizes rawness and reality.

They’re a band marked by an accessible musical sensibility and a strikingly clear, translucent singing voice!

A Halo at Yojohan song that delicately portrays winter scenery and romantic feelings.

In a snow-covered town, the way the couple’s memories layer over one another is beautifully expressed.

Through the metaphor of falling in love inside a snow globe, it conveys the ache of bottled-up emotions and the longing to express them.

Released as a digital-only single in January 2021, the track—produced by Takahito Uchisawa of androp—is the band’s first winter love song.

It’s a piece you’ll want to listen to on a winter night with someone special.
