04 Limited Sazabys formed in 2008 in Nagoya, Japan, when four high school friends started playing together. They built a following through local live shows before their 2015 album 'Utopia' brought them wider attention. The title track from that album, along with songs like 'Swin' and 'Keep Going,' became staples of their energetic rock sound.
The band's lineup has stayed consistent with GEN on vocals and guitar, HIROKAZ on guitar, KOUHEI on bass, and DRUM on drums. After 'Utopia,' they released albums including 'YON' in 2017, 'Ray' in 2019, and 'Rumble' in 2022. Their music often balances driving rock with more reflective moments, as heard in tracks like 'Milestone' and 'Squall.'
In 2018, they faced plagiarism allegations regarding one of their songs, which they later acknowledged after initially denying the claims. They've continued performing and recording since then, maintaining the same core members who started playing together in high school.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
