CMU Approved

Approved: Haisuinonasa

By | Published on Monday 10 May 2010

Haisuinonasa are an experimental rock band from Tokyo signed to Under_Bar, an imprint of Japanese label Zankyo, which specialises in “artists which has original approaches, though features vocals”. And while that may be an imperfect translation, it does sum up the band’s music quite well, it being highly original and, er, featuring vocals.

Originally, though very briefly, an instrumental outfit formed by guitarist Yoshimasa Terui, bassist Atsumasa Terui, keyboardist Tomoyuki Tanaka and drummer Keisuke Nakamura, in 2004, the band were joined by vocalist Ai Kamano later in the same year. They released their debut mini-album ‘Machi Ni Tsuite’ (‘About A City’) last year, which showcases their unique blend of polyrhythms and pop, which are all topped off with Kamano’s soaring vocals. Snippets of three tracks are available on the MySpace, which should have you gasping for more.
