If you’re well-versed in video game music, you probably know that in the late 1980s, bands were formed within game companies by members in charge of music.

They developed their own activities beyond just game soundtracks, releasing original albums and more.

While popular bands like Taito’s ZUNTATA and Sega’s S.S.T.BAND emerged, Konami’s music team formed Kukeiha Club.

Strictly speaking, as an in-house music team they were called the “Konami Kukeiha Club,” and as a band they performed under the name “Kukeiha Club.” They created numerous classic game tracks, but also released original albums.

Their 1990 debut album, Kukeiha Club, was produced by Masahiro Andoh of T-SQUARE and features a full-fledged fusion sound that differs from their game music work.
