Lovefilm, a new project that The telephones’ Akira Ishige and Nobuaki Okamoto—whose band sadly went on indefinite hiatus last year—launched this year, has begun activities.
Unfortunately, there are no music videos uploaded to YouTube yet, and no CDs have been released, so for now the only way to hear their songs is at live shows.
They’re definitely a band to watch this year.
