In 2014, 7 people who has gained a variety of experience came to the decision of a music band's formation and the band's name is ROA (shamisen rock band). Their music is the combination between the East and West, multiplied by the culture of Westerners to express a "compromise between East and West" in music. Besides that, many more activities started with weapons that empathize people with regard to domestic and international issues.
The fusion of shamisen and rock is used for sound, English kanji for lyrics, word karaoke uniquely related using katakana and hiragana .
Live with keynote melodies and live with a sense of unity with the listener, must watch live collecting them with high performance and expressive power.
ROA considers their aim is to connect the world's culture with their image and the power of words.
Sound of guitar and Shamisen are intriguing.
Ambitious guys started a band in 2014, in Tokyo. They named the band ROA, and they have been playing on the stage since..

Rules are not applied to this band. Their policy is "和洋折衷," which means blending Japanese and Western. They create new music for new global youngsters by combining elements of several cultures.

If there is an answer to such questions, ROA must be the one.
