The pursuit of a live experience composed of visual and audio expression. Formed in 2006, with elements of jazz, funk, post‐rock and electronic music, Mouse on the Keys fits into a genre of their own. The trio consists of two former members of the influential Japanese underground band 9dw, Akira Kawasaki and Atsushi Kiyota. They teamed up with Daisuke Niitome, who has played drums as well as composed music for countless jazz‐funk and hip hop bands. Their unique sound, comprising two pianos, two keyboards and drums, continue to stand at the forefront of the Japanese indie scene.
The unique sound of the band's drums, two pianos, and two keyboards combines the sense of urgency from rock, hard core and heavy metal with tastes of early/contemporary classical, jazz and various dance music.
At their concerts, the band projects a variety of images chosen to match their sound ―views of Tokyo, geometric symbols, 3D objects, and abstractions. Residents of Tokyo, the members of Mouse on the Keys represent the haunting restlessness of their home city at their live appearances. They would transform even a venue in Germany or France into a kind of virtual Tokyo.

@annakennedy1096
Thank you NPR for bringing me here! This morning they played a segment of this song in between stories. I had to find it. New fan!
@omnilightstudios7958
Speed is good but accuracy is final ..... and of course these guys have both !!! An excellent piece that makes the music on the radio look like mediocre , voiceless , heartless , false sentiment , rubbish... Then you have this Pure gold that is mouse on the keys . music fit for gods , and their drummer is one of my Favorite drummers beside Ken from candiria . The world would be a better place if this had 7,000,000,000 views , and that's a scientific fact !
@jamesdoodles9899
