PONI-CAMP

PONI-CAMP is a three-piece band formed by ENAPOu(Gt/Vo), RAY(Ba), and NOBU NAKAJIMA(Dr).
ENAZOU(later changing her name to ENAPOu ) was the guitarist for LOLITA No.18. With her years wi th the band, the band was produced by Joey Ramone(RAMONES), as well as Olga from THE TOY DOLLS. Touring the United States and Europe several times, they were able to release off of BMG(Germany) and made their Europe debut. She left the band in 2001 and formed PONI-CAMP inviting RAY the ex-bassist of THE JET BOYS(at that time, his name was Suzuki) and NOBU NAKAJIMA from DOMINGOS and NINGEN-ISU. The three also perform as a backing band for PUFFY AmiYumi. On a TV show they appeared on with PUFFY AmiYumi, they were asked to put their band’s name on the TV screen. ENAPOu quickly came up with PONI-CAMP.
The band started playing in 2005, and in this day and age where digital media is everything, their first recording was a cassette tape(3 tracks). As ENAPOu also is an illustrator, she designed the jacket art herself. RAY took care of the recording and the dubbing and packaging was done all the band themselves. A perfect example of a DIY release! Then in December of 2005, they released their first CDEP “/(U.U)..”[uu](7 tracks). They even took part in the “save CBGB” movement.
As the guitarist for PUFFY AmiYumi, the very talented ENAPOu played in the Macy’s Day Parade in New York and is a voice actress in hit anime TV shows like “BECK” and “Oden-kun”.
In 2006, following a great demand for their music, they did another cassette tape release. That led to their first full album release “Lop-Eared POP STAR☆”(12 tracks) in November of the same year.
ENAPOu sings in “TEKIWANATAIN”(words & music: Elvis Woodstock(Lily Franky)) the theme song of the anime “Oden-kun” and released a single through avex trax.
Entering 2007, PONI-CAMP have been extremely active in playing shows with no show of slowing down. This is a band to keep an eye out for!!!
