Background notes
Archive material and source history
Tunnels formed in 1995 with three childhood friends: Akira Takeuchi on vocals and guitar, Takaaki Yuasa on bass, and Keiichi Miyamoto on drums. They were part of that wave of Japanese rock bands coming up in the mid-90s.
Their single "Gara Gara Heby Ga Yatte Kuru" came out in 1996 and became their breakthrough hit. The song had a catchy melody and rhythm that connected with listeners, helping push the band into wider recognition.
They released several albums over the following years, including "Tunnels" in 1996, "100,000" in 1998, "Quarter" in 2001, "Destiny" in 2003, and "World of Justice" in 2005. Their arrangements sometimes featured complex time signatures and chord progressions, drawing from rock, pop, and folk influences.
In 2005, Akira Takeuchi was diagnosed with a brain tumor, which led to canceled performances. He eventually recovered. Their lyrics often touched on social commentary and personal struggles, which drew both criticism and praise for their directness.
