Band Members: Chikako - Lead Singer Guitar, Kota - Double Bass, Daisuke- Drums
Influences: Coming across like Miyuki Nakajima getting into a fist fight with Shiina Ringo, but not as bad as that sounds. That enka-meets-punk thing has been done plenty of times before by groups like Go! Go! 7188, but the showmanship that goes with it still beats yet another bunch of Number Girl wannabes on any day of the week. Bass player Minato Kota has the right idea with his MC5 t-shirt and even more MC5 afro, and singer/guitarist Chikako is so defiantly beyond gender as to cause all manner of sexual confusion to members of the audience boring enough to consider themselves anything so simple as merely "straight" or "gay".
