See with inner double eyelidsHaku.
Haku is a four-piece band formed in Osaka in 2019.
Despite an average age of just 20, they’re drawing attention for a distinctive sound that fuses Japanese rock with Western indie rock influences.
Their mini-album “Wakamono Nikki,” released in January 2022, captures the delicate emotions unique to adolescence with translucent vocals and a rich band sound, and their subsequent one-man show sold out.
The members met in a vocational school club while in high school and formed the band; in 2021, they won the grand prize in the youth talent discovery project “Teen White Paper 2021.” At their annual “Haku Day” event held on August 9, they place great value on interacting with fans.
