Ulfuls is an Osaka band whose soul-infused rock music has been a staple on the Japanese charts for more than 25 years.
∙ Formed in 1988 by a group of coworkers at an Osaka café, the band selected their unusual name after misreading the word soulful on one of their favorite album covers.
∙ Ulfuls’ found fame in 1995 with the single “Guts za de!!,” which propelled their album Banzai to No. 1 on the Japanese charts.
∙ After two hit LPs—1997’s Let’s Go and 1998’s Thank You for the Music—bassist John B. Chopper left the band, though he returned in 2002 after playing their 10th anniversary concert.
∙ The group took a five-year hiatus, then released the 2014 LP ONE MIND and 2015’s Born to Be Wai Wai—both albums hit the Japanese Top 10.
Members of Ulfuls include, or have included, Tortoise Matsumoto and ULFUL KEISUKE.
