Their music, which sings about real life and social themes, is a contemporary expression rooted in rock.
Their 2022 single “Kurashi” gained attention on social media, and in 2023 they released their first EP, “ASAGU.” They have also appeared at major festivals such as ROCK IN JAPAN 2023 and MURO FESTIVAL 2023, rapidly boosting their profile.
The members reportedly had periods in the past when they stepped away from making music.
That experience may be what leads them to create songs that closely resonate with people’s emotions.

Quiet LifeJapan
Japan, the legendary British group that initially enjoyed overwhelming popularity in Japan for their stunning looks and deep appreciation of art, are introduced here with the title track from their 1979 masterpiece album Quiet Life, which marked their shift away from an early glam-influenced sound toward a synth-driven approach.
The charismatic frontman David Sylvian’s richly resonant vocals, Mick Karn’s fretless bass that generates a singular groove, the impeccable beat born from the superb sense of rhythm of Sylvian’s younger brother Steve Jansen, Richard Barbieri’s floating synths and Rob Dean’s spot-on guitar work, and the decadent atmosphere permeating the entire track—all combine into a pop yet highly art-oriented sound.
It stands as a quintessential example of European-flavored technopop and art pop, a sound that only Japan could create, and its reputation continues to grow.
