J-pop
Dubbed "the Japanese Red Hot Chili Peppers" by Japanese media and fans, OKAMOTO'S is an energetic funk-rock band from Tokyo, Japan formed by a group of friends from junior high school: オカモトショウ [Sho Okamoto] (vocals), Koki Okamoto (guitar), Hama Okamoto (bass; previously collaborated with Gen Hoshino and MIYAVI, among others), and Reiji Okamoto (drums). Their name is tribute to the avant-garde artist Taro Okamoto and the legendary punk band Ramones, whom they both highly respect. The band made their major-label debut aged 18 years old in 2010, and have since released 9 singles and 8 albums to date. The band cites RHCP as an important influence, along with The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Stooges, and The Ramones. They've also performed with legendary rock acts such as The Verbs and Paul Weller for their Japan tours, and continue to merge generation and music genres by collaborating with a wide range of artists, including writing songs for DISH//, Kanjani8 and recently working with rappers Gottz, Tohji, and Shurkn Pap on the OBKR / Yaffle remix of their song "ART(FCO2811)" from their 2019 record, "BOY." Most recently, the quartet released their first 'best of' compilation in April 2020, titled "10'S BEST." While the band members are currently staying at home, practicing social distancing and hoping everyone is safe and well, they are currently working on new songs at home and look forward to getting back on the road and performing for music-lovers all around the world.
