Morimori (Dr) Tamura Harunobu (Vo/Gt) Kana (Vo/Ba)

171 (pronounced ee-nai-ee-chee) is a new-age rock band based on Route 171, which runs through Kyoto, Osaka, and Hyogo.

The three-piece sound is created by Tamura's extremely solid guitar and emotional shouts, Kana's high-pitched voice that colors the songs with a pop feel, which is in contrast to the destructive bass, and Morimori's passionate drums.

Their unadorned lyrics, sentimental melodies, and wild yet detailed instrumental performances are reminiscent of the heyday of rock, but also sharply pierce the daily lives of modern young people.

Their performances, which combine an energetic sense of irritation and explosive power, have earned them solid support from the live house scene, and they have already gained popularity among early-earning listeners, with admission restrictions at circuit festivals around the country and sold out their solo shows, including Shindaita FEVER and Teradacho Fireloop.
They have broken out of issue 171 and are gaining influence nationwide, making them one of the most talked about bands in the indie scene.
