DOHATSUTEN started up in Sapporo in 1984 and the current lineup was formed in 1988. Following a break they got back together in 1999. After having toured and released albums intensively DOHATSUTEN finally had a major break through with the album "Shoken to Kantsubaki" in Nov 2004. After a year of silence they released the album "LIFE BOWL" in Nov 2007, after which they went on a nation wide tour of Japan.
Their first DVD "for beautiful Fuwaku in LIFE" that contains the one-man tour final at Shibuya AX has just been released on Apr 23rd 2008. This year is the 20th anniversary for the current lineup, and next year the 25th of the band. With their original sound "JAPANESE R&E" they are pursuing their music full throttle, set to perform at several major festivals this year, including ARABAKI Rock Fes2008.
"We're the 'latest' rock band to perform at Nippon Budokan," said Naozumi Masuko, a 46-year-old vocalist for Dohatsuten.
A concert by Dohatsuten was scheduled for Jan. 12, 2014, at Tokyo's Nippon Budokan hall, but the path to the mecca of Japanese rock bands was anything but easy.
The four-member band came to Tokyo from Hokkaido and made their debut in 1991. However, by then, the rock band explosion had already fizzled out. "It was the worst timing for getting people to go and see a rock band at a live concert venue," Masuko said.
The members continued performing while working regular jobs, but for a while had to suspend their musical activities.
However, recently the band has grown in popularity, with lyrics that laugh away the bitterness of the past and melodies that tap into a wide range of music, including traditional enka songs.
In its own way, Flower Companyz also is staging a return. The four members of the band, which formed in 1989, all hail from Nagoya and are 43 years old. Although its contract with a major recording label was cancelled, the group made a comeback to the big stage in 2008.
The group's single "Beautiful Dreamer," which was released in January through Sony Music Associated Records Inc., was used as a theme song for a TV drama.
Both Dohatsuten and Flower Companyz have endured years of struggle, with the same members through it all. The reason for their popularity may be that they sing about the hardships of life, and their members have reached an age when these lyrics resonate with listeners.
Dohatsuten recently released a new CD, Dream Vikings, from Teichiku Entertainment, Inc. It includes a song based on its members' experience with other types of work--"Sagyogi de Rock, Sebiro de Roll" (Rock in working clothes, roll in business suits)--and another depicting the sorrow of a company employee with younger workers as his or her superiors.
"Rock 'n' roll has become rooted in the lives of adults. Now at age 46, I can express reality through singing rock 'n' roll," Masuko said.
The lyrics of Flower Companyz's songs, which describe the ups and downs of life, have struck a chord with people of the same generation, who find it natural to identify with such sentiments.
Rock 'n' roll festivals have been effective in helping these two bands have a crack at the big time. Almost every year they perform at the Arabaki Rock Festival in Miyagi Prefecture.
THEATER BROOK is a Japanese funk rock band. A band that plays spiritual and large rock with a sound that incorporates all sorts of black music elements such as funk, hip hop and rock. Taiji Sato says, “Roots rock that can be funky and danced by adults with songs. That is Theater Brook”.
Theatre Brook made its début in 1986. The band's current line-up are: Taiji Sato (vocals & electric guitar), Takashi Nakajo (bass), Takashi Numazawa (drums), and Emerson Kitamura (keyboard). They have been signed with Epic Records since 1995. They are known for performing the first OP of the 2010 Anime Durarara, Uragiri no Yuuyake.
Su-xing-cyu is a Japanese comic band. The catchphrase is "Japan's most comfortable comic band". They are from Tokushima Prefecture in 2002. Members: Singer. Yasuo Kitajima; Guitar. Masaya; Bass. Uta; Drum. Morris. Musically, the group evolves in a punk-rock but their strength lies mainly in the humorous aspect of their performances. Their unique and hilarious costumes also attract the audience.
a flood of circle is a Japanese four-piece rock band. The sound is based on blues and rock and roll while absorbing the latest music elements, and has been supported by the strong singing voice of Sasaki and the outstanding live performance.
It was established in 2006. Sasaki Yusuke (Vo, Gu), HISAYO (Ba), Watarioka Ichioka (Dr), Aokitetsu (Gt) is a four-piece set. While based on blues and rock 'n' roll, it gathers topics with sounds that absorb contemporary music elements and sublime them as AFOC's rock 'n' roll, strong singing voice of Sasaki, and live performances that overwhelm the viewer. In addition to the 10th anniversary of their formation in 2016, they performed their first UK tour, and started a flood of circle style festival "A FLOOD OF CIRCUS".
In August 2017, Yusuke Sasaki's first solo album "LEO", which was recorded at Bruce's holy place Memphis "Royal Studio", was released.
Then, support guitarist Aokitetsu officially joined in February 2018, and released their second self-titled album "a flood of circle". On November 7, 2018, UNISON SQUARE GARDEN Tomoya Tatami produced "Night Dreams for 13 Minutes" was released. A full album release has also been decided on March 6, 2019.
There is no schedule or ticket right now.
