eastern youth

A three-person punk rock band formed in Sapporo in 1988, led by Hisashi Yoshino of Vo.G.
It has influenced many bands with a unique style with emotional hardcore sound and Japanese lyrics.
Among the long activities, Hisashi Yoshino collapsed due to myocardial infarction during the national tour period in 2009, interrupted the activity, and withdrew from Tomokazu Ninomiya, the base who had been working together in Eastern for many years. After many twists and turns, such as joining a female bassist Yuka Muraoka, he is still engaged in ambitious live activities.
In 2015, the album "Botom of the World" was the last participating work in Ninomiya. And he is updating his masterpiece with two albums, including the 2017 album "SONG ento JIYU", which was created under a new system after joining Muraoka.
The two most recent albums will start subscription delivery on July 4, and a single digital release will be decided on the 30th anniversary!
At the end of July, he is also planning to perform at Fuji Rock Festival '18 (and the main GREEN STAGE).
A national tour has been decided to take on new challenges and determinations while exhaling all the accumulated 30 years of Eastern Youth!
