1) Z (Japan) -
Experimental jazz-rock outfit with one album release "Mikabe" in 2006, formed by ex-members of bands like 100 lots and there is a light that never goes out.
Current lineup is:
魚頭圭 (Uozu Kei) (guitars,voice,contrabass,drums)
根本歩 (Nemoto Ayumu) (drums)
山田高広 (Yamada Takahiro) (bass,alto sax)
根本潤 (Nemoto Jun) (vocals,tenor sax,soprano sax,alto sax,flute)
Z was formed from the ashes of legendary Japanese punk band There Is A Light That Never Goes Out who enjoyed international acclaim for their 2000 album “IE” (Dim Mak). When brothers Jun and Ayumu Nemoto (drums) and Kei Uozu (guitar, wood bass) decided to split the band in 2002 they shifted their focus to jazz; Jun exchanged electric guitar for saxophones but traded none of the abrasiveness of their previous incarnation.
Drafting in Takahiro Yamada on bass in 2003, Z was born. The band swiftly set about establishing itself a reputation as one of the underground scene’s most compelling live acts. Support slots with the likes of Keiji Haino, Lungfish, The Evens and Medications followed and they even found themselves playing with Damo Suzuki along the way. Often augmenting their line-up with additional drummers and guitarists, Z gigs are always intense but never predictable.
In March 2006 the band released its debut album “Mikabe” on their own Grok Plastique imprint in Japan to critical acclaim. With its first pressing almost sold out, “Mikabe” has already sent shock waves around the Japanese underground with its combination of free-form jazz and explosive intensity. Its six tracks feature singer and multi-instrumentalist Jun Nemoto delivering an impassioned, caustic take on Japanese society over a cacophony that grooves menacingly. If Pharoah Sanders had jammed with late-period Black Flag it may have sounded like this.

いいのになあ
ずっと その手に触れたい
だれもが 時間に追われて
こわれて
だれかを 愛するひまもない
そばにいてほしい あともう少し
迷いのないスマイル
よどみのないヴォイス
そういうのがハピネス
いつも うまくやろうと
すればするほど
ひとを 傷つけてるよ
君が流した涙の粒に
はっきりうつる
荒れはてた 僕の心
まっすぐ見つめよう
ちゃかすのもやめよう
君だけが僕に勇気をくれる
大切なことを 易しい言葉で
ささやいてくれる
そばにいてほしい あともう少し
君だけが僕を癒してくれる
だれのためじゃない
だけど歪んでない
そんなフツーの力で
今日も日は暮れ 絶えぬ人の群れ
ふらつきながら がんばっているよ
楽しい歌だけ 歌いながらね
歩いてゆこう

Z's song "Happiness" expresses a longing to be close to a loved one, to be able to touch their hand, and to have just a little more time with them. The lyrics suggest that everyone is constantly running out of time, being worn down, and has no free time to love someone. The singer's desire to be near their loved one is driven by the fact that only this person is capable of healing the singer's pain. The song's upbeat tempo and catchy melody hide the sadness that the lyrics convey, which is a common thematic device in J-pop music.
The second verse of "Happiness" focuses on how people's good intentions may end up hurting others. The singer admits that the more one tries to do things right, the more likely they are to hurt others unintentionally. The chorus reiterates that being with the loved one provides a sense of happiness that nobody else can. The lyrics invite the listener to cherish the most important things in life and to appreciate the loved ones who make them happy.
