Japan, is an interesting country, with their history, customs, cuisine and music. There are many great music acts originated from Japan, including all the music styles, Japan has created a lot of "strange" things in our eyes / ears, but are huge over there.
Personally, I think it can be fun with this, but I am simply too old to go into this! Or what do you say? Today's band is one of the newer ones that is Huge in Japan, and is beginning to spread across the world.
