Industrial metal band
ALMONDot digitally released their debut single on January 11th.
I’ll go first, sorry comes nine months after the band was formed around 17-year-old rapper (and philosopher) Ensen, including 18-year-old guitarist and co-vocalist
Sorai, bassist
chrome, and Muses & KOIAI drummer Kanade.
Ensen, who spent her childhood in London, has this to say regarding
ALMONDot's philosophy: “'ONE PIECE' has been made into a live-action Hollywood drama. Various of the unique characters and entertainment in Japan have been around for a long time.” Anthropomorphizing things like hot spring girls, local mascot characters,
and historical figures is an amazing idea. I also don't think there is any other group that has a deep-rooted anthropomorphic culture like the one in Kansai where people call candy "ame-chan".”
“I think the world should pay more attention to Japan's unique mindset, which blurs the distinction between things and people. So, one day it occurred to me that Japan should have this identity admired and protected by the people of the world for
the future of Japan. We hope to be able to convey various things like that through music!”
