AKUJU ("Evil Beast" in English) are formed in 2015 as a new Japanese Jazz Rock quartet around Kyoto / Osaka, Japan, for playing novel rock regardless of genres.
The founders are Koji MIYATAKE (guitars), Michiko UEMURA (keyboards), Yohei KISANUKI (bass), and Kenji TSURUTA (drums, percussion).
They made the first "wild roar" upon March 25th, 2015 in Kyoto, and have constantly gigged in Kyoto or Osaka ... upon February 6th, 2016, they gigged with DJAMRA at Nakatsu Vi-Code (Osaka).

At Nakatsu Vi-Code upon February 6th, 2016 ... their newest video.

No official creation yet but I'm looking forward to their physical release!

Please check their fb page.

	^Cool. Looks like Jamie Muir perhaps uses one for the intro to Larks Tongues in Aspic. BTW, your signature avatar always makes me happy!
