Editor's note

Lamp's indie rock built on voice and interplay

A Japanese trio whose melodic sound and reflective lyrics have carried them through personal and legal challenges.

For a sense of their sound, try 'Ame Furu Yoru No Mukou' or 'Hatachi No Koi.' They're straightforward, melodic songs that show what the band does well.

Lamp's 2010 self-titled album gave us 'Koibito e (For Lovers),' a song that quietly spread beyond their small live-house origins. Their style, melodic indie rock with reflective lyrics, comes through in tracks like 'Ame Furu Yoru No Mukou' and 'Hatachi No Koi.' They've kept going despite Yuji Katsui's throat cancer diagnosis in 2013 and Mitsuru Kiribayashi's 2018 arrest, which was later cleared.

They formed in 2006 with Yuji Katsui on vocals and guitar, Saki Tanaka on bass, and Mitsuru Kiribayashi on drums. After their 2010 album, they released 'Unison' in 2012 and 'Jikuu' in 2020, working through periods of pause and difficulty.

Archive material and source history

Lamp formed in 2006 with Yuji Katsui on vocals and guitar, Saki Tanaka on bass, and Mitsuru Kiribayashi on drums. They started playing small live houses, developing a sound built around Katsui's distinctive voice and the interplay between guitar, bass, and drums.

Their 2010 self-titled album included the song 'Koibito e (For Lovers),' which became widely known. Other tracks like 'Ame Furu Yoru No Mukou' and 'Hatachi No Koi' show their style of melodic indie rock with reflective lyrics. They've released several albums since, including 'Unison' in 2012 and 'Jikuu' in 2020.

In 2013, Katsui was diagnosed with throat cancer, which led to a pause in the band's activities. He underwent surgery and recovered. Later, in 2018, Kiribayashi faced an arrest related to drug possession allegations; he was later cleared. The band continued working through these periods.
