HEADHUNTOKAMOTO’S
OKAMOTO’S is a four-piece rock band formed by classmates from junior high school.
Their appeal, as you’d expect, lies in their songwriting sensibilities and high level of musicianship.
Personally, I see them as a band that really appeals to connoisseurs, haha.
The vocalist, Sho Okamoto, has a deep, cool voice.
This WorldROTTENGRAFFTY
ROTTENGRAFFTY is a five-member rock band from Kyoto.
Now in their 17th year, they’ve continued performing without a single lineup change.
Their biggest draw is the sheer intensity of their live shows.
With an unbelievably fiery performance, they keep driving the crowd’s energy higher and higher.
I’ll never forget the sight at one Kyoto Daisakusen when, despite heavy rain, the venue was packed all the way to the back and everyone was dancing.
You and the summer music festivalSHISHAMO
SHISHAMO is a three-piece girls’ rock band from Kanagawa Prefecture.
It’s remarkable how much these 21-year-olds have already achieved.
Their lyrics, which reflect the feelings of girls their age, resonate and may be the secret behind the strong support they receive from people in the same generation.
