Group Tamashii is a Japanese comedic rock band known for its hardcore
punk-influenced sound and humor-driven performances. Formed in 1995 by actors

"Baito-kun"). Initially, the group performed comedic skits with a guitar and

transitioned into a full band with added guitar, bass, and drums. In 2002, Group
Tamashii made their major debut with the album Run Tamash...
