If you've ever been lucky enough to see Guitar Vader play live, you'll know that they are one of Japan's best kept secrets.
Guitar Vader (ギターベイダー?) was a Japanese underground indie rock band. Formed in 1998, the band is best known for their contributions to the soundtracks of Sega's Jet Set Radio and Jet Set Radio Future games
Miki Tanabe and Ujuan Shozo, who also played guitar and bass, respectively. Miki's child-like voice and Ujuan's tenor are often used in harmony and call and response, but many songs are sung exclusively by one or the other. Their music generally features pop-oriented melodies, often coupled with aggressive power chords and hard rock influences, and sometimes playfully shifts between genres in mid-song.
they've picked up a new member, Steve Laity, who fleshes out their live sound by playing keyboards
