Amazarashi, a Japanese alternative rock band known for their philosophical lyrics and unique artistry, hails from Aomori. Formed in 2007 and fronted by Hiromu Akita, the band has garnered a dedicated following with their introspective music that often grapples with existential themes and societal commentary. Their sound is characterized by a blend of rock with poetic lyrics, an approach that allows them to tackle complex emotions and thoughts, resonating with a wide audience.

Their recent body of work comprises singles like "永遠市" (Eien City) and "下を向いて歩こう" (Walk While Looking Down), revealing a band that remains steadfast in exploring the human condition. With the emotionally charged "アンチノミー" (Antinomy) and the contemplative "カシオピア係留所" (Cassiopeia Moorings), amazarashi continues to push the boundaries of their sound. Songs like "境界線" (Boundary Line) have also seen alternative interpretations, such as the Naeleck Remix under the SACRA BEATS Singles banner, showcasing the band's versatility and influence across different music genres. Their participation in THE FIRST TAKE performance series with renditions of "ロングホープ・フィリア" and "季節は次々死んでいく" further solidifies their prominence in contemporary Japanese music. Through each release, from the reflective "令和二年、雨天決行" to the defiant "ボイコット" (Boycott), amazarashi continues to challenge and inspire, offering listeners a soundtrack to life's many complexities.
