LAMA

LAMA is a Japanese rock band formed in 2011 by vocalist-bassist Miki Furukawa and guitarist-vocalist Kouji Nakamura, both formerly of Supercar. The group was later completed by guitarist Hisako Tabuchi and programmer Kensuke Ushio, bringing together musicians with backgrounds in alternative rock, indie, and electronic production. Built around the interplay of Furukawa and Nakamura's vocals, LAMA's sound combines guitar-driven rock with digital textures, atmospheric arrangements, and a polished experimental edge. That mix gives the band a distinctive place in Japan's post-Supercar alternative scene, balancing melodic hooks with layered, modern production. Because of the members' individual histories, LAMA is closely associated with the broader Japanese alternative and electronic crossover that emerged from the 2000s indie scene. The band's lineup and approach make it especially relevant to listeners interested in projects that connect rock instrumentation with programming and ambient details. LAMA remains an important reference point for fans of Japanese rock who follow artists linked to Supercar and related alternative music circles.
