Okamoto's Biography
OKAMOTO’S is a four-piece rock band of junior high school classmates. The band name and the member’s
names come from avant-garde artist Taro Okamoto and the legendary punk band Ramones, both of whom
they highly respect. The band made their major debut when they were age 18, and has released nine
singles and nine albums to date.
The band has performed over 100 shows every year since their debut, sweeping all major festivals and events such as Fuji Rock Festivals.
In 2011, OKAMOTO’S was the guest act of the Japan tour of The Verbs, the supergroup of Steve Jordan, Pino Palladino, Meegan Voss, and Tamio Okuda. The following year, they were also the guest act of Paul Weller’s Japan tour, garnering rave reviews. Transgressing the generations and musical genres, the band collaborates with top-notch artists on recording projects and live sessions, expanding their scope of activities on a worldwide basis.
In 2016, after carrying out their first 47 prefecture Japan tour, they made out their first one-man show at iconic venue Nippon Budokan in 2020, celebrating their 10th anniversary.
