Junya Noguchi

The recording label HEADZ run by critic Atsushi Sasaki has produced many experimental stage art creations and collaborations with numerous musicians, including 口ロロ (Kuchiroro), Shuta Hasunuma, Sangatsu, Yoshio Otani and others. Among them is also the analog 3-piece band Kukangendai of Junya Noguchi (guitar/vocals), Keisuke Koyano (bass) and Hideaki Yamada (drums) that creates odd-meter experimental music in live performances by dissecting and then reconstructing rhythms and phrases. They have become the focus of particular attention recently thanks in part to collaborative works with artists in theater, dance and music, etc., such as Chiten’s Motoi Miura.
