Wagakki Band (Japanese: 和楽器バンド, Hepburn: Wagakki Bando) is a Japanese band that combines rock and metal music with wagakki instruments and Shigin poetries.[2][3][4]
Their early songs were adapted from Vocaloid, with their music videos for the songs "Tengaku" (天樂) and "Senbonzakura" (千本桜) attracting millions of views online before their first album was released.[5][6] In 2015, their first album of original material, Yasō Emaki, debuted at number one on the Oricon Albums Chart and won a Japan Record Award. Their fourth album Otonoe (2018) also won a Japan Record Award. Wagakki Band have performed live in Asia, Europe, and the United States.
