A four-piece band from Tokyo - Daiki Tsuneta (g/vo), Yu Seki (dr/sampler), Kazuki Arai (bass) and Satoru Iguchi (vo/k). They call their music “Tokyo New Mixture.” The mixture of music, visual art and performances builds universe truly one-of-a-kind. The band ventured into the major music scene in Jan 2019 with the album “Sympa”, followed by the smash hit of “Hakujitsu” in Feb. 2020 saw the album “CEREMONY” topped Japanese charts, continued enjoying long-term sales surpassing 500,000 copies, and developed the band into one of the leading bands in Japan. “Ichizu/Sakayume”, the opening/ending themes of “Jujutsu Kaisen the Movie” brought the band’s first #1 on the singles chart. In summer 2023, the band performed 4 shows and drew an audience of 230,000 in Japan. King Gnu is back with the latest single “SPECIALZ,” the opening theme for Jujutsu Kaisen Shibuya Incident Arc!
The biggest difference for Japanese concerts is that I never see a bunch of phones and people standing still to record. Just people living in the moment and having a blast. This is what adds to the energy in a concert. No need to show off on social media.
