Background

Known for their high-speed rhythms, emotional English lyrics, and an unwavering DIY spirit, the band—comprised of Kentaro Kasahara (Vocals/Guitar), Atsushi Tsuruga (Vocals/Bass), and Tomomi Baba (Drums)—has spent over two decades building a legacy of “youthful” energy and high-octane live shows.

The Northern19 “FIVE FLESH tour” 2026 is a 19-date nationwide campaign celebrating the release of their EP FIVE FLESH (released February 25, 2026).
