Noodles
In 1991, four young girls gathered to start the band Noodles, performing their first shows in Yokohama. In 1995, they released their debut album "JYURYOKU DOROBO" on the Benten Label. That same year, the girls wrote and recorded a song for a Coca-Cola commercial. The song became a big hit and was a radio favorite throughout Japan. In 1999, the band moved to DELICIOUS LABEL, the new label run by rocker Yamanaka Sawao of The Pillows. Noodles began to focus their efforts on recording and playing shows. Over the next couple years, the girls toured Japan six times, building a legion of loyal fans. In March, 2003, they opened for their heroes, The Breeders, in Osaka. Later that year, Noodles started to branch out overseas by performing at the CMJ Music Marathon. They have since been back to the States for two US tours and have appeared at SXSW two years in a row. Their most recent US tour, in spring 2005, was as the opening act on the very successful DELICIOUS BUMP TOUR with anime champions, The Pillows. Now, Noodles returns to the US for the Electric Finish Tour with Seattle's The Stereo Future. Even with the 2004 loss of their second guitarist, Junko, the girls show no sign of slowing down. In fact, their songwriting has never been better and their fan base, both in Japan and in the States, just keeps on growing. Noodles remain Japan's best all-girl rock ensemble.

The Clicks



Applecider
I truly think that what I have accomplished or how my creations turn out doesn't really matter. But what I think is the most important thing is the time when I'm absorbed in the process of creating things or doing things rather than how I did. Some people said I'm a modest person, but I don't think I'm. I realized that I just don't have self confident. However, I will have it soon. and you'll see!!! soooo...........

Young Parisian
Tsuneglam Sam is the singer of Young Parisian. This band started about 4 years ago. We were kinda crews of the great Japanese band, MAD3. Met each other at their show. Tsune played in a band called Hindoo Hurricane, but that's already 10 years ago and we were nothing(and not GLAM!). The 2 guitarists and the bassist have never ever played in a band before Young Parisian. So why not a Young Parisian from Japan? Actually we took it from an early Adam & The Ants song. It sounds so neat and fake. Doesn't it suit us well.

Shonen Knife
Since their beginning in 1982, Shonen Knife have compiled a legacy of unique songs and recordings, which they coupled with an equally amazing track record of personal appearances and performances around the world, appreciated by and often appearing with famed bands, such as The Ramones, Redd Kross, Sonic Youth and Nirvana, among others.

There are many great bands in Japan, but none has yet achieved the mystique, charisma, international appeal, and completely original interpretation of rock music, as have Shonen Knife! A Shonen Knife Live performance is an experience that many people come to "treasure".

It's clear to everyone that this Planet needs more *Wow*, and this band always delivers. Naoko and Atsuko also happen to be some of the nicest people on the planet, and have worked constantly, growing as musicians in dedication to their music and creative processes. In recent years, the band took an independent approach to their music, by leaving a major label to follow their own vision, and their creative edge was honed sharper than ever with the release of the 1996 MCA-Victor, Japan album, "Brand New Knife". 1997 was a great year for Shonen Knife, with Tour dates in Singapore, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, the United States and Canada. 1998 carried that momentum forward - with a Live Microsoft Netcast, new "Happy Hour" album, Japanese "Wonder Tour '98", and a major appearance at the 1998 Fuji Rock Festival on August 1st. Shonen Knife toured the U.S./Canada in August/Sept 1998 and made many new fans on this "Happy Hour" Tour - check the "US Tour '98" Section for all the listings. The band explored new musical space with the February 2000 release of "Strawberry Sound" - and their highly praised Japanese Year 2002 album, "Heavy Songs", was released in the U.S.A. in 2003, and they returned to tour the U.S. and Canada that year. They completed a new album for 2005 summer release in Japan, and returned to Live Performance mode with Tour Dates in February/March and again in September of 2005 in the U.S.A. with new support drummer Etsuko Nakanishi. Looking forward to new Shonen Knife music in 2006, we are happily along for the ride.
