About Me

OVUM
Norikazu Chiba : guitar, keyboard
Yu Tokuda : drums
Yosuke Jinnouchi : guitar
Shunsuke Onoyama : bass
OVUM is a four-piece instrumental band based in Tokyo, Japan.
We have given concerts in Tokyo since formed in 2006.
Making songs, we remove improvisation and noise as much as possible and make much of ensemble, melodies, harmony and structure by composition.
Our music may be based on the form of so called “post rock”. However, what we believe the most important is not in musical form but in the pursuit of universal beauty such as the sweetest of melodies and harmony, which may sound classical.
If you feel that our sound is beautiful, we are very happy.
"nostalgia, melancholia, psychedelia"
We look for a record label in foreign countries.
