bio
Christian Rock from Japan, isn?ft it a joke?
Japanese are largely atheists and the Christian population accounts for only 1% of its 100 million population.
Yes, it is funny, but IMARiToNES is serious.
Japanese Rock band, IMARiTones, since its inception in 2004, has been active in the Japanese independent music scene with its unique and philosophical themes.
In 2006, IMARiTones went to Germany to record old school hard rock album, titled "Japanese Pop", with German heavy metal producer Sascha Paeth (Angra, Edguy, Rhapsody, etc).
In 2008, IMARiToNES declared as a Christian Band.
They began performing on the platform philosophy, Jesus is a Rock!
In the spring of 2009, their first USA tour in eight cities -- Dallas, Austin, and Houston, TX; Little Rock, AR; Nashville, TN, Atlanta, GA; New York City, and Seattle, WA -- was well received in both clubs and churches.
IMARiToNES is proud to be the Christian Rock bands in Japan.
They are ready to bring about the revival movement to Japan.
Animation Video of the song "Karma Flower" was awarded Best Animation in Foursite Film Festival 2008
"Karma Flower" was also qualified as Semi-Finalist song in UK Songwriting Contest 2008
