Out of the bands mentioned above, I have decided to introduce HaKU as they have been the one band that have been permanently present on my Mp3 device in 2013, as I have discovered them during that year. No other band can do the whole Technical-music-with-the-right-approach-to-make-it-attractive-to-the-mainstream thing this well to a point that, even I who is the most cynical about the whole Technical vs mainstream business, have been hooked. Plain and simple. Every single track, Every little tune and every little riff is addiction by themselves. HaKU have the definitely the power of pull towards any listener who might be dubiously cautious of them. Dubious as the vocals might be seen as an hindrance to the over all music at first and their recline on synthetic guitar is a bit overbearing. However, after while, it starts to grow on you. HaKU is band that have a clear aim and focus. A band that not only glitters from having their trademark sound of Maths-Pop customary mix, but also shines with their ultra confidence in a field which they are undisputed in. HaKU was formed in Osaka in 2007 and consist of It consists of Yuki Tsujimura (vocals, guitar), Hiroshige Fujiki (guitar), Haruna Miyoshi (bass), and Shinya Hasegawa (drum). As it is a norm and customary from anyone who is a Kansai Origin, they are quite proud of their hometown, and hence, mainly performs live in the Kansai region (An area which lies in the southern part of central Japan and consists of the likes of Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe and Wakayama amongst other smaller cities). They have started their active releases around 2010 and thereafter pumped out release after release after release. In 2013, alone, they had 4 outings (5 if you include the international version of one of their mini-album) suffice to say, not only are they comfortable with their own talents, but they regularly release great albums that have few downside to them.
