OKAMOTO’S are a four piece hailing from Shinjuku, Tokyo. They take their name, just as the Ramones did, with all four members having the same surname; Drums – Reiji Okamoto, Bass – Hama Okamoto, Guitar – Kouki Okamoto, Vox – Shou Okamoto (taking the surname from their favorite Avant Garde painter Tarou Okamato). At only 18 years old, this band is ready to fill the boots of the Ramones and become legends themselves.
June of 2009 saw them release their debut album “Here are Okamoto’s” and with over 100 live shows under their belt, Okamoto’s are going to just get better and scarier with every step they take.
