Survive Said The Prophet

Survive Said The Prophet is a Tokyo-based Japanese rock band formed in August 2011 and led by vocalist Yosh Morita. Often shortened to SSTP, the group blends j-rock, rock, and emo with melodic post-hardcore intensity, pairing heavy arrangements with strong hooks. The lineup long associated with the band includes Ivan Kwong and Tatsuya Kato on guitars, Yudai Kato on bass, and Sho Okada on drums, giving the project a hard-edged but melodic identity that has made it a recognizable name in Japan's rock scene. The band first drew attention with its self-titled digital EP, then expanded its reach through support slots for acts such as Soulja Boy and festival appearances at Rock In Taichung in Taiwan and Silvermine Bay Music Festival in Hong Kong, where they shared stages with Supper Moment, Dirty Loops, and FACT. In 2013, Survive Said The Prophet recorded in Hong Kong, leading to the singles "Miriam" and "Cocoon," and by that point they had already headlined more than 50 shows, with their final show in that run selling more than 300 tickets. They made their debut in 2015 with the mini album Course Of Action, toured nationwide to Shibuya Quattro, signed with ZESTONE RECORDS, and later released FIXED with producer Kris Crummett in 2016 and Wabi Sabi on August 2, 2017. FIXED reached No. 10 on the Oricon Japanese indie chart and No. 12 on the Japanese iTunes rock chart, while Wabi Sabi reached No. 21 on the Japanese iTunes album chart. The band also appeared at KNOTFEST JAPAN 2016 and Summer Sonic 2017, and its catalog has been associated with Sony Music Records. More recently, Survive Said The Prophet tied into anime again with a Fire Force Season 3 Cour 2 ending song collaboration and music video in 2026.
