================================
LITE [Japan]
In 2003, LITE was formed by four piece in Tokyo. Originally they kept playing gigs around Tokyo after dropping "1st demo" and "2nd demo" for themselves. In 2005 they released their 1st mini album, called "LITE" from "NMNL records", owned by Tower records Japan. They did a tour all around Japan for the first time.
May 2006 they dropped their 1st full English album "filmlets" from the same label. On July they released 1st mini album "LITE" from "Transduction Records" in U.K and it is distributed in U.K and all around EURO by "Cargo".
On September of the same year they went on a tour of U.K and Ireland during a couple of week. On November they took part in the project of "Radio Head Tribute" for the song "Everything in Its Right Place".
Performance in FUJIROCK FESTIVAL'07(Rookie a go go stage) was already decided. In 2008 they finished Phantasia Europe Tour 2008 with 2nd album "Phantasia".
LITE [Japan]
2003年組成,以演奏曲為主的搖滾樂團。成員包括武田信幸Takeda Nobuyuki(guitar)、井澤惇Izawa Jun(bass)、楠本構造Kusumoto Kozo(guitar、synthesizer)、山本晃紀Yamamoto Akinori(drums)。至今已發行過2張full album、2張EP以及一張split album。LITE以獨具一格富有激進性的節奏與充滿感情張力的旋律,征服了許多喜好post rock、math rock曲風的樂迷,也獲得了歐洲廠牌的賞識而在海外各地發行作品。同時他們更非常積極的在歐美、亞洲等地進行巡迴演出,並曾二度來台表演,受到台灣樂迷相當熱烈的迴響,甚至還造成了演出後CD作品銷售一空的盛況。
在團員自主成立的廠牌「I Want The Moon」的獨立運作下,LITE邀請到知名後搖團體Tortoise及Sea and Cake之成員John McEntire為其錄製迷你專輯『Illuminate』,展露他們在音樂作品表現上也急欲與世界接軌的企圖心。2011年發行之專輯『For all the innocence』又與擔綱Boom Boom Satelites/DJ BAKU等製作的知名製作人三浦KAORU合作,交出了導入電子元素突破過往既定印象的作品。始終不斷向前進化的LITE,在最新完成的迷你專輯『pase,present,future』中依舊沒有原地踏步,紐約獨立後搖團體Mice Parade之御用女主唱Caroline也意外的為其擔任客席vocal,再度讓人聽見LITE這個不受限於刻板框架的樂團無限寬廣的可能性。

With the chemistry triggered by different musical interests and thoughts, Chochukmo has been claimed to have created a unique style of their own. With the playful minds and the courages of pushing to limits, they experiment rock music with different elements from jazz to punk, from bossa nova to dance. The band is known for their passionate and energetic live performance, and the richness in elements delivered in their music.
Chochukmo has been participating in various music festivals happening in the city, namely Jam Fest, Rockraiser Festival, as well as the well-acclaimed Clockenflap.
