Jumpy,
jazzy J-Rock with a Sin City swagger
SHIRT IN THE JUPON
Like Godzilla
towering over Las Vegas in a Manchester United jacket demanding access to the high roller tables,
Japan's Shirt in the Jupon shrieks forth from deep in
the heart of Vegas with a blistering, joyous debut full
of fuzzy hooks and howling distortion.

"Japanese
soloist turns the finest parts of garage, J-rock and
psych into pure, catchy chaos."
Las Vegas Weekly
“Tomoya Fukao,
Southern Nevada’s transplanted 27-year-old omni-soloist,
and his project Shirt in the Jupon are by any measure
completely non-Vegas. His spacey yet grindy riffs and
up-tempo beats are akin to such Scandi-rockers as Dungen
and Circle, though Fukao differs from his European
cousins by sprinkling elements of J-rock, garage and
experimentalism into his brilliant hybrid. Sure, at
times it can get a little dizzying hearing all those
influences come together in one swift song, but as the
confusion fades, the results pay off for the listener,
leaving music that will inspire you to rock out, nod
your head, dance or just sit back and chill out. Shirt
in the Jupon has created something entirely new, and for
that he is not of this town.”
Aaron Thompson, Las Vegas Weekly
“Freak out!
Tomoya Fukao's musical project Shirt in the Jupon is a
hidden gem away from Las Vegas' current fascination with
the 80s revival and post-hardcore music movements. A
steamroller of psych-rock, J-rock and good ol' dirty
garage from his home studio located in Henderson,
Fukao's project is as musically addicting as it is
alluring.”
