Formed in 1996 by twin brothers Tetsuya and Moriya Kamijo along with Soei Hayashi, Penpals was a band that energized Japan’s rock scene with a sound rooted in punk and alternative rock, making their major-label debut in 1997 and remaining active until their breakup in 2005.
Later, they effectively reunited under the name AFOK and continue to perform, but interestingly, Hayashi—who now fronts the band as a singer-guitarist—originally handled bass and vocals.
Many fans likely still hope to see Hayashi in his role as a singing bassist, showcasing his diverse playing within the trio’s unique ensemble—from simple lines that firmly anchor the bottom end, to straightforward, classic running bass that snakes through the gaps, and even aggressive solos.
