Machina Shogunate

About Machina Shogunate:
“We’re Machina Shogunate. Hailing from the United Kingdom, we are a band born from the desire to see less of a division between Eastern and Western music.
Inspired by Japanese rock and Visual Kei aesthetics, and with musical influences spanning all genres, we have been fusing music and artistic visuals since late 2007 in such a way as to define our own genre concept of “Gaijin Kei” (or foreigner/outsider style).”.———————俺たちはMachina Shogunate(マキナ・ショウグネート)
EastとWestの音楽の壁をぶち壊して世界中にビジュアル系革命を導くぜ！
最も影響を受けた日本のビジュアル系音楽のスタイルや思想を
イギリスを拠点に広めようとしている。
お前を捕まえるのはもうすぐだぜ。
