noanowa (のあのわ) is a 5-member band led by vocalist and celloist Yukko. The other members consist of Gou (ゴウ) on guitar, nakame on bass, Arayama Riku (荒山リク) on keyboard, and Honma Junta (本間シュンタ) on drums.

The origins of the band started back in Yukko and Gou's high school days, where they formed an alternative rock band, with Yukko on guitar and vocals. However they had to disband when the other members withdrew. In 2003, Gou invited nakame, a fellow club member of Goh's in college, and formed "noanowa" with Yukko. After nakame joined, Yukko switched from guitar to cello, Arayama and Honma joined, and they established a more modern form of musicianship, which remains to this day.

The band's name stresses the importance of the echo to the members. (no-a no-wa)Their musicianship is comprised of gaudy musical-like arrangements ranging from pop-rock to avant-garde post rock. They have been noted for their exploitation of both J-pop styles and western styles.

noanowa have released up to this date 2 singles, 1 mini album, and 1 full-length album "SPECTACLE". They have also released limited works at their lives, through Tower Records, etc.[edit]Last edit by ginjinkun on Monday 08 Feb, 2010 at 13:26 +1.5%[/edit][edit]Last edit by ginjinkun on Monday 08 Feb, 2010 at 13:25 +100% Reason: no information yet[/edit]
