The band name Owarikara loosely translates into English as "starting from the end." However, singer and guitarist Hyouri Takahashi gives a much more specific interpretation.
"The suffix '-kara' (from) and the word 'owari' (end) are both part of the name," he says. "It's about being a band that encompasses all of rock music."
That's basically Owarikara's musicality in a nutshell. Comprising of Takahashi, Taku Kameda on keyboards, Fumihiko Tsuda on bass and Kenta Kawano on drums, the four-piece is a melting pot of rock who are influenced by everything from Jimmy Smith and The Doors to Yura Yura Teikoku and Merzbow.
