Biography
I'm hetting, the programmer/guitarist of the band called 'routen (ルーテン in Japanese)'.
The vocal, ryu and I put together the band to produce 'unprecedented, novel pop music' in 2005.
The routen makes music and performs live shows centering around Kyoto, Japan.
Routen is a coined word combining 'ruten (流転)' and 'routine'
'Ruten (流転)' means 'keep on flowing, rolling'
'Routine' means 'unvarying and constantly'
Routen will keep on changing better constantly to produce novel pops.
All songs by routen were written by ryu and hetting.
I become very pleased if you listen to our songs and leave comments about them!
Feel free to add me to your friend list!!
