Kyuso Nekokami ( キュウソネコカミ , Ky?so Nekokami , "Cornered Rat's Bite of a Cat") is a Japanese punk rock band that formed in 2009.

Biography [ edit ]

The band formed in December 2009, and was made up of students from Kwansei Gakuin University 's music club in Nishinomiya . After finding it difficult to find full-time employment, the members decided to form the band. [1] For three of the members, this was the fourth time they had formed a band. [2] Seiya Yamasaki and Kazuma Okazawa were originally from a band called Self Borraginol ( セルフボラギノ?ル , Serufu Boragin?ru ) , which formed at Kwansei Gakuin University and was active in 2008 and 2009. [3] [4] [5] Keyboardist Shinnosuke Yokota was originally from a band called Blank Map, and drummer Taisuke Sog? from a band called Bakajikara ( バカ力 ) . [3] The band took their name from an accessory from the game Final Fantasy X-2 , Ky?so Nekokami ( キュ?ソネコカミ ) , [3] which was translated as "cat nip" in the English version of the game. The name is a reference to the Japanese proverb Ky?so neko o kamu ( 窮鼠 猫を?む , "A cornered rat will bite a cat") .

In 2010, the band started performing at live houses across the Kansai area. In March 2012, the band released their first album J?dai de Dashitakatta , followed by Daiji na Oshirase in December. [1] The band entered the Rockin' On Japan web competition Ro69Jack 2011, and were one of 14 prize winning bands. [2]

The band's 2013 extended play We Are Indies Band!! was successful, debuting in the top 20 of Oricon 's albums charts. [6] On April 1, 2014, it was announced that Kyuso Nekokami signed with major label Victor Entertainment , where they released Change the World in June. [1]

The band has also toured in Asia.
