ROCK'A'TRENCH - profile 
There is a little over a year now I fell in love with the folk duo Hirakawachi 1-chome and shortly after I started to give them a lot of space on my LJ. Today early presentation of my new favorite group,
Rock 'A' Trench . I knew them as the theme
Mei-chan no Shitsuji I found nice but not enough to go see what they were doing the other. And the tracklist of the album 8uppers Kanjani8 was announced and so naturally it aroused my curiosity. Minutes from the first that I watched on Youtube, so now I loved small presentation.

A bit of history The group leader, Yamamori, was born in Okinawa but quickly moved to his family reasons professional, first to Tokyo and then some time later in New York where he lived from 10 to 15 years, which made bilingual and explains why his English is as good in the band's songs (by dint of hear English Japanese yogurt surprise that the first time XD).
After returning to Japan, he joined the industry in spring 1997 of the prestigious Law University of Tokyo, you know, the famous Todai that thrills every high school and whose manga and drama so often speak. It also reveals during a visit at Music Station in 2009 he received his law degree in 2004.
Having started piano lessons at the age of 3 years is in NY he gets to really enjoy the music and from high school he played in a band. Just came to Todai, he went with other students in a group called Ska Ska Club
which, as its name suggests is the kind of ska / reggae. The group of 12 people includes many brass, including the trombone and Hatakeyama Its singers Yamamori and Metis Indian named Grover Yoshikazu. The band released 2 singles and 1 album while the members continue their studies then the group breaks out between 2003 and 2005. Hatakeyama
Yamamori and will eventually create ROCK'A'TRENCH while Grover and Ska Ska Club guitarist of the group will mount
Jackson vibe. That's the story ^ __ ^
