About Mahoroba
Mahoroba, a Japanese musical duo who express "traditional Japanese landscapes" through their music. Mahoroba are made up of TATSU, who plays Wa-daiko (Japanese drums) and HARU, their singer and songwriter. They were born in FUKUI prefecture, a land renowned for its beautiful seas and lush mountains. Nurtured within such a rich environment, TATSU and HARU have grown sensitive to nature's song, and echo it within their own.


TATSU
Japanese Drums / Composition / Arrangement

TATSU was born into a family with a longstanding tradition for playing Japanese drums. He established a professional music group when he was only 17 years old. Now, not only has he performed in Japan, but he also travelled overseas to do so as well. After becoming a soloist, TATSU made guest appearances at various concerts, such as a Tetsuro Naito performance, (Tetsuro Naito is a member of the Japanese drums group, " Kodo") or with professional traditional Japanese entertainers "DONGARA." In 2013, TATSU featured in the musical "BAKU MATSU," working as a composer, arranger, and performer, from which he won much added popularity.


HARU
Lyrics and Vocals / Composition / Arrangement

HARU writes songs for famous Japanese performers, such as Mika Nakashima, CHEMISTRY, Maaya Sakamoto, Little Glee Monster, as well as for commercial advertising. HARU is also a talented vocalist, appearing on many compilation albums, and was selected for LOVE PSYCHEDELICO's performance at BUDOKAN as a backing vocalist. Mahoroba's lyrics are stylised with a "read aloud" feel, in part because HARU's grandfather was a witch doctor, and his philosophies and teachings greatly influenced her world view and performance.

Neonderthal is a new wave electronic rock band, based in
Los Angeles. The quartet just released a full-length,
self-titled album that was produced by the late Ikey
Owens as one of his las t projects. The album features
their latest hit song “The Ride,” accompanied by a music
video that was picked up and premiered by Vice’s music
blog Noisey.
Directed by Jeremy Eichenbaum, the music video’ s lead
actor Paul Raci dances through a cluttered office, using
sign language to translate the lyrics to camera, creating a
one of a kind music video for deaf people. But no matter
who experiences the video, “The Ride” is about the
universal feeling of going home.
Lead singer, Steven Matthews, pulls from life experiences
to write his music. He leads listeners into the neon night,
and like moths in the dark, they can’t get enough.
