Teoman's Band of the Month - Hawaiian6

Not much can be said about Hawaiian6 apart from the fact that they're a "three piece" band. We don't (or maybe I don't) know much about Hawaiian6 since on their website there is no bio. What I know is that this band is growing more and more since in a month four new videos of the band have been added to youtube (link). This is what is said on wikipedia jp:

Hawaiian6 is a three piece rock band from japan.

The members are
Yuuta (real name Yasuno Yuuta) - vocal & guitar
Toru (real name Kotaka Tooru) - bass & background vocal
Hatano (real name Hatano Kihiro) - drums

They first formed as a cover band of Hi-Standard. Their lyrics are in English and are usually sad and they could be sometimes topics of conversation because they are also strong and sorrowful and are easy to recognize in everyday situations. The music is a mixture of different melodies, and Yuta the singer was greatly influenced by the punk rock movement that formed around 20 years ago during the Showa era in japan (the former Japanese emperor’s era). So although their style is similar to other punk rock bands (notably in the rhythms and beats) it still stands out from others.

They first released their first mini album “Fantasy” on the label “Step Up Records”. They then transferred to “Pizza of Death Records”, with its head Ken Yokoyama from Hi-Standard, and released their first album entitled “Souls”.
