Crazy Ken Band

Ken Yokoyama continues to be involved with some projects (including going Pizza of Loss of life Information), but mostly of the to carry strongly was the Crazy Ken Music group, a big contingent of music artists clustered around Yokoyama who perform something of the parody-based pop music. The music reaches its core a little retro, with components of pre-J-Pop (and pre-J-Rock) standing up as the primary the different parts of the group’s result. There’s sentimentality uncovered in the lyrics aswell, recommendations to a much less sanitized Japan of days gone by also to the vices mounted on it (aswell as to muscle mass cars, a specific hobby of Yokoyama’s), paralleling advancements in other areas of Japanese tradition (notably the noir components of the popular anime series Cowboy Bebop, as well as the close ties to jazz, blues, and rock and roll infused in the series by Yoko Kanno). Although band began developing in 1991, it wasn’t until Yokoyama’s go back to “single” tasks around 2002 that this group became popular as a pressure unto itself. The band’s live shows possess garnered most interest, though album produces have regularly performed well, with 2008’s No easily residing in Oricon’s TOP for a long period.
