nayuta
Shoko Awaji (Vocals, Guitar, Synth) Kohei Yamada (Drums, Chorus) Shotaro Miyamoto (Vocals, Guitar)
Formed in Takarazuka city in 2003, nayuta was originally a 4pc band consisting of one drummer and three guitarists. Now operating as a trio in Osaka, nayuta has gained a reputation for incredible live performances resembling jam sessions with predetermined set lists but plenty of improvisation such that each song is played differently one show to the next. Their style combines psychedelic, progressive, rock and blues with male/female vocal harmonies, intricate instrumentation and plenty of soul and power.
