Doukoku

Formed in 2007 by brothers Ryusuke and Fumiya Uemura, Doukoku is a visual rock duo eager to make its mark not just on Japan’s rock scene, but also internationally. Their name means “a cry of feelings you can’t put into words”, which perfectly captures the essence of their dark, synth-infused rock sound.

Doukoku released their first album Doukoku Sekai in March 2015, and embarked upon their first European tour in May that same year.
