AKARA
Akara is a rock band composed of three musicians: a singer, a Koto player, a Shinobue and Nōkan player. It was formed in 2014 by vocalist MIKIKO.
The name of the AKARA group (from A) comes from the fact that the Japanese alphabet begins with the sound “A” and expresses the intention to “protect the origin and its continuity”.
Its musicians all play a Japanese musical instrument.
Akara belongs to a new generation very active in the world of traditional Japanese music.
The lyrics of their songs contain ancient Japanese words and are inspired by classical songs.
However, AKARA reinterprets them with originality.
Regulars in concert halls in Tokyo and other regions, they also participate in lecture-concerts, dinner cruises and halftime shows of professional basketball games.
Depending on the location and event, AKARA can offer different styles. They have also participated in several major acoustic shows.
In 2015, they performed at the 42nd Annual Renovation Ceremony (at the Kamigamo-jinja Shinto Shrine in Kyoto’s former Yamashiro Province).
In 2017, they performed alone at the Japan Cultural Center in Cologne, Germany and headlined at the “NRW Japan Tag” in Düsseldorf, supported by an audience of over 10,000 people.
They also participated in the “JAPAN EXPO” in Paris in 2018/2019, “ADIHEX” (Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates) in 2019, and “WAGOTO SUPER LIVE” (Myojin Kanda).
In addition, they sold out headlining Shibuya TSUTAYA O-WEST.
Combining the intensity of Rock with traditional musical phrases, they have created a new genre that they define as “J-trad Rock”.
By cultivating the sensibilities of traditional music, they installed a new trend in the modern Japanese rock scene.
