The fin.

Formed in 2012 by Yuto Uchino and Kaoru Nakazawa, the fin. blends indie, psychedelic pop, and soul into a dreamy, immersive sound—driven by Uchino’s ethereal vocals and production—delivering captivating live performances that have enchanted audiences around the world. The fin. was formed in 2012 by Uchino (vocals, guitar, and synthesizer) and Nakazawa (bass and synthesizer). Uchino serves as the creative force behind the band’s music, handling songwriting, recording, mixing, and production. His silky, smooth voice—with a distinctive, floating quality—creates a dreamy and immersive musical experience. The band’s style is rooted in indie and psychedelic pop, infused with elements of soul, funk, and jazz, resulting in a soft, mellow sound that evokes a sense of peace.
