It's just regular rock... Not jazz nor blues. Just heavier.

 

[Aki S. Ian]

eh? tokio jihen is kinda a mixure of blues and jazz in them.
go SHINA~!

 

[aquanaut]

^If you have nothing better to say, please refrain from spoiling other people's thread. TS is asking about the genre, not how good or bad the band is..

Since you ask, I did google about the band and it states that they are a rock with jazz..
But from the song, it sounded very rock. Hope that helps.

hey if you're a hater the good news to you is that you actually bother replying so means you give some sort of shit to my shitty music. you're kinda of a narrow minded person aren't you. so thanks alright.

alright thanks for the clarification guys. appreciate it!

there are only 2 kinds of rock- 'alternative rock' and 'mainstream rock'

 

[zel]

Tokyo Jihen for the most part are jazz, but they delve into other genres too.

 

[karlie]

they have a wide range of genres i think and their arrangement is fantastic!

 

[Resetti]

you have to check out their song called "Killer Tune".

the bassist in the band is really something. a very experienced guy producing for other bands i think.
