Zonbie is a Japanese pop-punk band that started playing in Tokyo in the early 2000s. They put out their first album in 2006, and the next year their single 'Daikkirai Toukyou' got some attention. The song's blunt lyrics about city life seemed to connect with people.
Their original lineup had Mori Kohei on vocals and guitar, Kusaba Daisuke on bass, and Asaji Junya on drums. In 2013, Asaji Junya left the band and was replaced by Fujimura Kazuki. They've kept releasing music since then, with albums like 'Tegami' in 2009 and 'Tokei' in 2016.
In 2010, a song called 'Wakeari Shoujo' caused some trouble. The lyrics were criticized, and the band ended up apologizing and dropping it from their setlists. They've also played at charity events and talked about things like bullying and discrimination.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
