"Kō Machida (born 1962) is a Japanese author, punk rock singer, poet and actor. Machida formed a punk rock band called 'Inu' (dog) in 1978, for which he used the stage name 'Machida Machizō'. Inu released their first album, 'Meshi Kuuna!' in 1981. The band split shortly after the album was released. He went on to form a number of other bands, and though these subsequent projects earned reasonable critical acclaim, commercial success was limited."The band was somewhere between a sort of frantic wave and anxious pop, with a few segues into Fear's type of art student experimental territory (a trait Aburadako shared). Very catchy tunes, though I'm hard pressed to label any of it "punk". My fave track still remains "Uncle And Aunt" (track three on the studio LP).
