12012

12012 (pronounced 'ichi ni zero ichi ni') is a visual rock band based in the Kansai region of Japan. The band's interesting name comes from the California penal code, which means "possession of a dangerous weapon." With five members, the lyrics are always written by vocalist Miyawaki Wataru who uses their songs to create a story. Their music style tends to be harder rock, with a dark and aggressive undercurrent.

After going on hiatus in 2014, the band reformed in 2020. Guitarist Suga Yuusuke, who quit the band in 2010, returned alongside his eventual replacement, Saito Shinichiro.
