kukatachii
A multitude of styles, a soft voice and a unique universe: here are what makes kukatachii so successful. This peculiar band is going to make you dance during the J-music Springboards!
Profile
Coming from Tokyo, kukatachii has one of the most eclectic music style in all Japan: electro-pop, rock, R&B, jazz, soul… Nothing escapes them! Created in 2012 by singer Yudai and keyboardist Yui, the band has grown over the years and now includes guitarist Noriyuki, bassist Tatsuya, and drummer Takuto.
The band name derives from “kukatachi”, which was a spiritual trial for judging honesty in ancient Japan. Yudai is a true history enthusiast and this can be seen not only in the band name but also in some of their musical works.

The public loves kukatachii’s unique universe: the band doesn’t simply mix musical styles, they interpret them in their own way. And with the high and uncommon voice of the singer and a groovy vibe, the band can turn any live venue in a real dance floor.
After taking part in several festivals (such as the notorious SUMMER SONIC festival in 2014, where the group was part of the 18th finalists selected among more than 1,000 bands) and having concerts all over Japan, kukatachii launched in 2016 the track Love Today. Used for an apparel nationwide television commercial, the song reached number 7 on the iTunes soul/R&B ranking.
kukatachii participates in the J-music Springboards and takes advantage of its coming to Japan Expo to meet you at signings!
