Clammbon is a distinctive Japanese band known for their eclectic fusion of genres, including pop, jazz, and rock, mixed with a whimsical yet profound approach to songwriting and performance. Formed in 1996, the trio consists of vocalist/keyboardist Ikuko Harada, bassist Mito, and drummer Daisuke Sakurai. With a name coined from a fictional musical instrument in a poetry book, Clammbon carved a niche for themselves in the Japanese music scene with their unique sound and their penchant for creating music that resonates emotionally with their fans.

Through the years, Clammbon has nurtured a loyal following, not just in Japan but also internationally. Their extensive discography showcases an adventurous and evolving sound, demonstrated in some of their more recent releases such as "SOUSYUNHEN" and "Period & Prelude," which continue their tradition of introspective lyrics and intricate musicianship. The album "Utopia" further exemplifies their dreamy soundscape while "1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 LOVE" offers a whimsical take on the concept of love with its grandiose title and heartfelt delivery. Not just limited to their original works, Clammbon's versatility is also on full display with their contribution to the "Isekai Izakaya Japanese Food from Another World" Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, which blends their sound seamlessly with cinematic storytelling. With spirited live recordings like "3peace2 (Live)," Clammbon has proven their ability to captivate audiences in both studio and live settings, securing their place as a beloved and innovative force in contemporary Japanese music.
