10-FEET

Officially formed in Kyoto 2000, 10-FEET's members had made their first work (a demo tape) in 1997. Formed as ex-members from several of the local Kyoto bands, each member brought a different style to the mix. 10-FEET had formed several connections in Kyoto that would show up later, as compilations with several artists from Kyoto (Ayano Tsuji and Kenji from DRAGON ASH for example). Known for their lack of a single genre and their extremely powerful live performances, they stay relatively low on the mainstream's radar. TAKUMA's lyrics tend to be based on self confidence, a result of, as he stated on MTV's Streaming broadcast, his being bullied in middle school.
