Kyuso Nekokami is a Japanese rock band known for their eccentric and energetic style that defies easy categorization but often soars on a blend of punk rock enthusiasm and tongue-in-cheek humor. Formed in Kansai in 2009 during their college years, the band features Shinnosuke Yokota (vocalist), Kazuma Okazaki (guitarist), Seiya Yamasaki (guitarist), Taisuke Sogo (bassist), and Takuro Kawakami (drummer). Their name, which translates to "the cornered rat's scream," encapsulates the band's philosophy: a fierce survival instinct combined with an unapologetic, expressive exuberance.

Their discography is marked by a willingness to explore and play with various musical genres, which has garnered them a loyal following in Japan and beyond. From their inventive music videos to their high-octane live shows, Kyuso Nekokami displays a knack for theatrics and an unbridled passion for performance. Their most recent releases, including tracks such as "Watashi Akinu Watashi," "Shinri," and "Masaka no Imagination," demonstrate a continued evolution in sound, mixing incisive lyrics with bold, unpredictable compositions that challenge and delight. With each release, Kyuso Nekokami continues to cement their reputation as one of the most creative and compelling acts on the Japanese music scene.
