The leader of this band. He becomes crazy when he plays the drums and doesn't look around! Also, he is crazy about Gundam. lol.

The mood-maker of the band and famous for crazy guitar-playing as if being obsessed. He also writes destructive and impressive songs that make people cry.




The Back Horn is...
          The Back Horn is a Japanese music band, which was formed in 1998 by four Japanese. They make decadent lyrics and destructive music with crazy performance, but they are also popular because of delicate and beautiful music. Their music has strong movie-like elements, so they get offered for theme song for movies. Also, their artwork for the jacket of CDs and booklet of lyrics are peculiar! (It is my opinion though!)



Why "The Back Horn" ??
    When Matsuda (Dr.) was little, he misunderstood "backhoe" with "back horn," and had called a power shovel "back horn."  Therefore, "back horn" was a big tool that is used to destroy old things in order to make a new ones for him.  Band members thought it was a cool name for their band.  However, Matsuda found out that it was a misunderstanding after a while, but they didn't change their band name because they liked its sound; "back horn" sounds like "baku-on" (explosion) in Japanese.
