UZUMAKI

There are at least four artists sharing the name "Uzumaki".

1) UZUMAKI is a band from Japan that formed in Osaka around 1996/97. They released their earlier works by using the Japanese kanji 宇頭巻; in 2004 (and with the album "JUNKEE FOOD") they changed the writing to the romaji form UZUMAKI.

The UZUMAKI is originally from Japan, mixing their culture and music styles to set them apart from the rest of the music industry. They represent a tornado; their music will pick you up, and take you with them on a powerful journey through their world. Just like a tornado, after you get hit by the UZUMAKI, their will be a new different world around you. They will rip down musical barriers to show you their style of how they rock! The UZUMAKI puts on the most powerful loud rock show which breaks into some other kinds of music such as: core rock, hip hop, and a mixture of today's cultures music.

JYU (EFFECT VO) / ATARU (MC) / YOSHIO (V-GUITER) / TERRY (V-BASS) / DUTTCH (DRUM)

Musically they're close to the rapcore and crossover scene and playing - as the ohp puts it - "Street Mixture styles [...] such as HIPHOP+PUNK+LOUD+CLUB SOUND" (uzmk.com).
