Hikashu

Hikashu

Hikashu has been played on NTS shows including Manila Times w/ Vex Ruffin & Possiblemusic, with Shuffer first played on 6 December 2016.

Hikashu is a long running sort of avant garde pop performance ensemble started in the late 1970s. Koichi Makigami is the lead vocalist and writes most of the material. He said they were "Like a play pretending to be a band"

From a synth standpoint Makoto Inoue and Yasushi Yamashita played synths in the original line up , they left in the early 80s and among other things formed a synth duo Inoyama Land. For quite a while Hikashu used an alternative English spelling, Hikasu, without the second "h". Hikashu followed all the great formulas for music that had been set before them. Rock, jazz, techno, pop and played along happily keeping Japan centered.
