Indie bands are performing at live houses all over Japan. They grab the hearts of the audience with their free and unconstrained performances, and we asked them to introduce us to some of the bands that are "frustratingly amazing!

The seventh band to be introduced is GOKURAKU-BANPARK, a seven-piece pop rock band from Shiga Prefecture. The band's appeal lies in its genre-defying musicality and entertaining, theatrical performances. The music video for "Next Love" introduced in this issue is of outstanding quality!

More to come. Please look forward to updates!
