Haoto Akira羽音夏丹
36 · Producer
Runs a recording studio in Osaka. He stands in front and waits for others to speak, never deciding for them. After seeing Hitomi sing and play on TikTok, he invited her to form a band.
KANSAI
Kansai Group
The four from Kansai: Hitomi on vocals & guitar, Mai on drums, Denka on bass, and Akira producing. The band’s sound began as “electric guitar, bass, drums, production.”
Amamiya Hitomi雨宮夕瞳
25 · Vocals / Guitar
Daughter of the Amamiya family of Kyoto, and a former department-store clerk. She hides her fragility behind hard, delinquent-style playing; principles come first, and she says hurtful things the roundabout way.
Kagurazaka Mai神樂坂芙舞
22 · Drums
A drummer from Kobe. Hyperactive and goofy-looking, yet actually very calm — she asks Hitomi first about anything big. She followed Hitomi from Kobe, and the two became a sisterly alliance.
Tsukishiro Denka月白靛樺
18 · Bass
A bassist from Nara and heir to the Tsukishiro family’s martial art. People call her “a glass of lukewarm water” and “like a ghost”: she won’t take on what she’s unsure of, speaks bluntly and shows little emotion. Akira took her in on a rainy night: “Come in and have some hot water.”
How the four met
Akira invited Hitomi to form a band; Mai, who had followed her from Kobe, went with her. Denka came to Osaka and Akira took her in. When Hitomi and Mai first met Denka in the studio, Denka reached out and touched Mai’s cheek, as if checking its warmth — and with that, the Kansai four were complete.
