The uncategorisable quartet are back to shake up Japanese music, but what’s new this time?

The band tricot has been pushing the envelope since their inception in 2010 – creating offbeat and exciting music that breaks pop rules and touring the world with major bands. Their 10th anniversary album, 10 (pronounced jyuu), was released last year to rave reviews, and their latest single いない (INAI) has just been released on June 2nd.

We catch up with the surprisingly down to earth band members, Ikkyu, Yoshida, Hiromi and Kida as they look over their long history, and their future dreams.

Ikkyu: I’ve been playing in this band for 10 years, and I still have no idea! Sorry!

Yoshida: I think that always come up with more and more alternative ideas.

Tell us about how you came up with your new single いない (INAI), and what it means to you.

Ikkyu: I wrote this song as the theme to the TV show Haru no Noroi
