Budo Grape is a catchy, high energy avant-garde pop band from Nagoya, Japan. The band is fronted by model and radio personality "Quminco" and Nagoya music legend Nagai of the "Shockers".

Formed in 2001, Budo Grape released their first full album "Koibito ha Koishite Tsukuru" in 2005. The album was a hit in the Japanese underground scene and was followed up with the 2006 release "Soko kara Detekinasai" and 2007's "Otonatachi x Kodomotachi".

The band, whose members all have "Grape" for a last name, claim to come from "Neo-Nagoya." They continue to tour Japan with their crazy live show and catchy songs.
