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 13th group is Gum-9, a guitar rock band based in Shimokitazawa. The gap between their cool appearance and their passionate performance is addictive! The delicate lyrics depicting a love story are also noteworthy.

More to come. Please look forward to updates!
