Wagakki Band Explains Decision to Take a Break after 10 Years, Process of Producing ‘Conceptual’ Best-Of Collection & More


Wagakki Band members Suzuhana, Beni Ninagawa, Kurona, Machiya & Wasabi sat down with Billboard Japan for a new chat.

The eight-member band has forged out a singular space in J-pop music through its unique ensemble including traditional Japanese instruments and featuring the distinctive singing style of frontwoman Yuko Suzuhana. After a decade of enjoying brilliant success both in its home country and abroad, the group has summed up its career so far in a best-of collection, called ALL TIME BEST ALBUM THANKS – Yasou no Oto -. Since it’s the tenth anniversary of our debut, we decided to re-record some of our early releases and make the collection into a retrospective of the ten years we’ve spent with our fans.
