Husking Bee

Husking Bee was a Japanese pop-punk/alternative rock-band whose appear was seen as a the occasional using two vocalists along with a frantic rhythm section. The group was well-known in Japan and also earned some renown within the U.S., but split up in 2005 following a decade-plus work. Husking Bee was shaped in 1994, although just bassist Tetsuya Kudo continued to be from the original lineup, that was stabilized in 1995 using the addition of drummer Leona Hiramoto and vocalist/guitarist Isobe Masafumi. The trio quickly gained enough reputation to record their 1st full-length ,Hold (1996), and also have it made by the label Pizza of Loss of life from the prominent Japanese punkers Hi-Standard. Their second recording, Put on COLORING, was out in 1998, managed in Japan by Inu and Toy’s Manufacturer, and obtaining stateside distribution via Doghouse another year. 8 weeks ahead of its American launch, Husking Bee performed the Texan SXSW event, a favorite destination for Japanese rings. In 2000 the music group expanded to some quartet, adding the next guitarist Kazuya Hirabayashi, who performed on the third recording, Four Color Issue, produced by Tag Trombino (blink-182 and Jimmy Eat Globe). The record premiered both in Japan as well as the U.S., but didn’t ignite the graphs and became the group’s last American discharge. Being fell from Doghouse’s roster prompted Husking Bee to change from British to Japanese lyrics, their initial melody in their indigenous language getting “Shinri no Kaze” from the one Autumnal Tints (2001). Their 4th record, The Steady-State Theory (2002), blended tunes both in languages — in addition to adding acoustic components and much more adrenaline towards the songs, as well as the 5th record, Variandante (2004), was performed completely in Japanese, although Masafumi chalked it up to insufficient time, promising to accomplish the lyrics in Italian, which hardly ever occurred. In 2004, the music group became associated with the anime series Beck, in regards to a young rock-band, with Hirabayashi executing the performing parts for just one from the characters as well as the Husking Bee’s music “Brightest” featured within the series’ second soundtrack, Keith, in 2005. From then on, however, the music group decide to give up, using the self-explanatory Anthology (2005) summing up their profession. Hirabayashi continued to form Good Lines.
