From wiki
“A post-rock / alternative band formed in 2007 and consisting of six members; Daichi Mori (Vo., Gt. & Programing), 彩子 Yano (Syn. & Flute), Ryuta Okazaki (Ba. ), Takaharu Nakamura (Gu. ), Takumi Nakazawa (Dr. ), Kaori Sato (Vibs. & Glocken).
The sound through rock, post-rock, and electronic and the side as ” the song thing” by the vocal which was particular about Japanese words daringly while being conscious of English pronunciation.
These two factors achieve novel fusion without contradicting it.
The radical and literal lyrics are combined with the high musical piece characteristics mark by Mori, and have a hunch for the parallel world, mythical and story-like world.
They carry out a live activity positively around Tokyo and lead the number of the overwhelming mobilization now.”

“Kazumi learned released his first recording in 1971, and quickly became a promising guitarist in his own right. In 1979, he formed an all-star band with some of Japan’s leading studio musicians, and recorded the album Kylyn, which is considered a masterpiece in fusion music.[3]
During the eighties Watanabe released a considerable number of jazz-rock albums. To Chi Ka (1980), with its funk influences and bright sound, is probably the most famous early title. Some latter albums, such as Mobo Club (1983) and Mobo Splash (1985) display more experimental tendencies. But the most famous of all is Spice of Life (1987) which is done in a strongly melodic style.
Watanabe has worked with numerous musicians such as Steve Gadd, Tony Levin, Jeff Berlin, Bill Bruford, Sly and Robbie, Wayne Shorter, Patrick Moraz, Marcus Miller, Richard Bona, and Peter Erskine. Since 1996, he has been a visiting professor of music at Senzoku Gakuen College.
