mitsume

mitsume is a Tokyo-based indie rock trio known for crafting dreamy, reverb-soaked soundscapes that blend shoegaze textures with laid-back pop sensibilities. Formed in the early 2010s, the band consists of Kawabe Taichi (vocals/guitar), Uchida Yūho (bass), and Fukagawa Ryo (drums). Their music often floats between hazy melodies and introspective lyrics, earning them a dedicated following in Japan’s indie scene and beyond. Over the years, they’ve built a solid discography with releases like the hypnotic *VI* (2017), the groove-driven *Basic* (2020), and the contemplative *フィクション* (2021), alongside live recordings that capture their intimate, atmospheric performances. Tracks like “チョコレート” and “メビウス” showcase their knack for wrapping melancholic themes in warm, shimmering guitars—a signature style that’s made them a cozy staple for fans of thoughtful, mood-driven rock.
