Jozue is a four-piece rock band based in Tokyo.
Nitanai Ken (vocals, guitar) hit it off with Koichi Uwakawa (bass), whom he met while having a drink for the first time at a takoyaki shop in Nakano, and recruited him to the band.
Later, at Omoide Yokocho in Shinjuku, after getting completely drunk, he managed to convince Keigo Tanaka (Dr), who was already a friend of Nitanaiken’s, to join the band.
Jozue was formed in 2016.
In 2017, they recorded and released their 10-track album “Shaberu na Pola.”
They began improvising during live performances.
Their song arrangements began to change frequently.
In 2021, they recorded and released their second album, “Erek to Rick,” featuring 10 tracks.
This ambitious project was produced entirely by the members themselves—from recording to editing—without the help of a professional engineer.
They continue to perform live about once or twice a month, focusing primarily on new songs that haven’t been released yet.
Finally getting around to it, they began recording for their third album in February 2024.
During this time, Mune Sato—a trumpet and percussion player they met and recruited at a bar—joined as the fourth member.
Then, in July, they completed their third album in the blink of an eye.
The reborn Josue is on a roll.
You and me meets Josue and many rain
The only thing not wet from this rain is your heart.
