Kinoko Teikoku (which roughly translates to Mushroom Empire), are a 4 piece indie rock/shoegaze band formed back in 2007, who made their comercial debut with 2012’s Whirlpool, and have been steadily releasing music since then. Most of the songwriting is handled by lead singer, and former actress, Chiaki Sato. Their first EP, Long Good Bye, peaked in the Oricon Albums Chart at #56 on the week of December 4, 2013

Kinoko Teikoku is the Japanese music starting point for a lot of indie-rock fans. Their fusion of indie-rock style songwriting with shoegaze sonics is a mixture that shoegaze has been missing since Asobi Seksu in the early 2000s.
