1 January 2024 - BRATS - 決まりごと (Kimarigoto)

Happy New Year!  Rather than regaling you with more Mariah Carey, we thought you might appreciate some Japanese hard rock music.

BRATS were formed in 2011 by sisters Rei Kuromiya and Aya Kuromiya.  They were 10 and 12.  Rei is the vocalist here, in this song and video released in 2018.  They rock way harder than you might expect them to.  

They are part of a generation who are actually influenced by Japanese rock bands, and not international ones.  It is a great day for Japanese music when that is a claim that can be made.   

The title of this song literally translates to "The Rules", which, well, doesn't seem like something a rock band would support.  


And yes, they can do it live.  They are, after all, a band and not manufactured.
