The review:

Imari Tones is THE Japanese rock band that will succeed in penetrating American media. Their sound is comparable to that of Van Halen and AC/DC, but with staggering differences. Imari Tones is successfully bridging the gap between the American and Japanese cultures. Their mastery of the English language is greater than many other Japanese bands that get caught in the struggle with pronounciation. Aside from their outstanding pronounciation, the vocals are clear, with classical sounding metal screams, that are quite melodic in style.

Their melodic, and almost symphonic metal sound will catch your attention at first listen. On occasion, the guitar sounds resemble those of HIM, but to the opposite extreme, the greats of the band Symphony X. Drums in "Saratoga Stream" push the listeners to the edge of their seats, perfectly complimenting the smooth screams of the vocalist. Imari Tone's bass is the heart of the band. They have perfectly blended the bass, never letting it overpower like some wanna-be metalistas.

Five stars for Imari Tones! America wants you here!

the pitch:

"In the far east of Asia,
there's a man who calls himself a 'Wandering Savior'.
With his love and faith in Jesus,
he plays his big guitar to save the world.
The journey, just has begun."


"Imari Tones's music is based on the faith which Tak "Tone" Nakamine has in his mind.
God has been his good friend since he was a child.
The only purpose of its music is to show and take you to the neworld.
And neworld means the state of mind,
where human's mind is perfectly free from everything, greed, vanity, fear, even from yourself.
Is your mind free?"

"With his love and faith and strength given by rockn'roll, Tak "Tone" Nakamine and his band mates recorded 10 albums independently, totally by themselves, which itself a miracle you can call. Not being tampered with commercialism and business excuses, these 10 albums are fruits of pure minds and forever the truth for the sprit of Imari Tones. After making those 10 works, it seems like time for them to get it bigger and spread the music to the world, like having their songs produced by Sascha Paeth, but actually it doesn't matter they make it big or not. Important thing is to keep the faith and find a new way as an artist for new era. And hopefully, to show the new standard of value as an Asian artist. God will show them the right way to proceed."
