brkfstblend

Introducing the sonic concoction that is brkfstblend, a Tokyo-based band brewing up an intoxicating blend of modern AOR, soul, and psychedelic rock reminiscent of the golden era of the 60s and 70s. With a name that suggests the perfect fusion of flavors, brkfstblend serves up a musical feast that satisfies the soul and invigorates the senses.

The three members of brkfstblend have been active in the Asian music scene for over 10 years. Michael Kaneko (vo/gt), a solo singer-songwriter; Keity (bass), formerly the bassist for the popular Japanese band Lucky Tapes; and Tetsushi Kasuya (drums), formerly the drummer for the popular indie rock band Yogee New Waves.

In June 2023, they joined forces to create brkfstblend. Although they have only released a few songs online, they successfully completed their first tour, playing in 10 cities all over Japan. brkfstblend plans to release their first EP in the Summer of 2024.
