Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Oral Cigarettes formed in 2010 as a Japanese rock band with Takuya Yamanaka on vocals. They released their self-titled debut EP in 2012, which led to a deal with A-Sketch. Songs like 'Kyouran Hey Kids!' and 'Shala La' show their mix of energetic rock with Yamanaka's direct vocal delivery.
Their lineup includes Akira Akirakabe on guitar, Yohei Matsumae on bass, and Mizuki Hayashida on drums. Yamanaka writes lyrics that often come from personal experience, giving tracks like 'Black Memory' and 'Catch Me' a grounded feel even when the music gets loud.
In 2018, they faced plagiarism accusations that sparked some public discussion, though the band denied the claims. They've kept releasing music since, including songs such as '5150' and 'BUG'.
