Wagakki Band (和楽器バンド wagakki bando?) is a musical group from Japan. The shigin singer Yuko Suzuhana (elected Miss Nico Nama ニコ生 in 2011) and seven musicians fuse Vocaloid songs with wagakki (traditional Japanese musical instruments) and Western rock.[1][2] Their music video Tengaku (天樂?) was seen more than 200 000 times in four days.[3] Moreover, the music video of the following song Senbonzakura (千本桜?) has received more than 30 million views on YouTube.[4] In 2014, Wagakki Band was invited by Japan Expo 2014 in France and their first oversea independent concert will be held at Taipei in 2015. On July 4, 2015, Wagakki Band headlined a sold-out concert at Club Nokia in Los Angeles as a main event at Anime Expo. The Vocaloid IA was the opening act, also in her first North American live show.
