Cymbals (Japanese band)


Cymbals was a Japanese rock band active from 1997–2003. The trio was composed of vocalist Asako Toki, bassist/guitarist Reiji Okii, and drummer Hiroyasu Yano. Like other Japanese bands which emerged in the late 1990s, Cymbals were strongly influenced by the British pop-rock sounds of the 1960s. Despite solid songwriting and album production, they never scored a true "hit", which eventually resulted in the band's breakup in September 2003. They played a final 90-minute farewell concert at Shibuya O-East on January 20, 2004. The group's members remain musically active – Toki as a solo artist, Okii as a producer, and Yano as a session drummer and producer.
