Summary

The band 'Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai' is a three-piece band formed in Japan in 2004. While active within Japan under the kanji name '打首獄門同好会' (Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai), representing Japanese culture, they operate internationally under the more easily pronounceable name 'GOKUMON.' Featuring a mixed-gender lineup with a male guitar/vocalist and a female rhythm section, the band is known for its unique style that combines a heavy sound with a 7-string guitar and 5-string bass. This distinctive musical approach, coupled with laid-back lyrics infused with a sense of everyday life, has established a new genre known as 'Seikatsu Micchaku-gata Loud Rock' (Life-Immersed Loud Rock). In their live performances, the band incorporates VJ (visual jockey) elements, projecting visuals and lyrics on screens synchronized with the music. This not only enhances the auditory experience but also provides a visually captivating aspect.
