Hello Sleepwalkers is a high-energy rock band from Okinawa, Japan, known for their dynamic fusion of heavy guitar riffs, complex rhythms, and catchy melodies. Formed in 2008, the band consists of Shuntaro (vocals/guitar), Narumi (guitar/backing vocals), Yuki (guitar), Tasoko (bass), and Yuki Yagi (drums). They quickly made a name for themselves in the Japanese rock scene with their vigorous live performances and distinct sound, blending elements of alternative rock, punk, and emo.

The band gained wider recognition after their song "Goya No Machiawase" was featured as the opening theme for the popular anime "Noragami" in 2014. Since then, Hello Sleepwalkers has continued to release a steady stream of powerful tracks, including fan favorites like "Liquid Soul and Solid Blood," "Masked Monkey Awakening," and "Sentimental Shoukougun." Their most recent releases, such as "Kuwadate," "Yureigai To Gyakusetsu," and the electronically tinged "Hyakki Yakou -KSUKE Remix-" showcase the band's ability to evolve their sound while still maintaining the raw energy and emotion that have defined their musical journey. Hello Sleepwalkers' commitment to pushing the boundaries of their genre has cemented their status as a dynamic force in Japan's rock music landscape.
