Hi guys! Not sure if you've heard of this band before, but they play a pretty good mix of music. It's like rock+funk+jazz when you listen to them.

Fans of Shiina Ringo would know Tokyo Jihen. It's what she's been doing after she gave up her solo career. I like the musicians she picked for this band, because each of them seem to shine at what they do. Being a drummer, I naturally focus on the drumming. Toshiki Hata's drums really stand out in every song and I love his playing. Also, there have been Youtube comments on Seiji Kameda's bass playing being extremely awesome, so this should please the bassists here :) No one should doubt the vocals, because this is Shiina Ringo doing the job. She's an undisputed legend.

For starters:


^ Bass-playing in this one is supposed to be pwnsome.


^ I really love the drums for this one. But I can't play it -___-


So, has anyone else heard this band? If yes, what are your favourite TJ songs?
 
Oh my! I never thought I'd see this band pop up here after the hard time i had in looking for their vids on youtube. I love how they spund really funky and out of the box, completely different from what i normally listen to. ^^
