About Li-sa-X:
Born in Kanagawa prefecture, the 15 years old started playing guitar at the age of 5 and started posting videos on YouTube at the age of 7. Her cover video of RACER X’s “Scarified” that she posted at the age of 9 revieved over 5 million views and drew major attention. As a result, she won “The Most Popular Video of 2014” by Guitar World Magazine as well as first place in “The girl for the future of heavy metal” on MTV and “A great kid’s guitar player to look forward to in the future” on VH1. When acclaimed hard rock and heavy metal guitarist Paul Gilbert, the composer of the song, saw the video, he invited her to to be a student at an online guitar school where he teaches. In 2016 she performed with Paul on stage in Japan. In 2017, as a 12 year old sixth grader, she made her major debut with the EP “Serendipity.” That same year, she played the first solo concert and appeared in several events including Summer Sonic 2017, making her the youngest performer to ever play the festival. In addition to serving as the opening act for Polyphia’s performance in Japan, she also performed with Kiko Loureiro at the annual NAMM SHOW in the United States. She has also appeared in a TV commercial for Toyota’s T-UP. In 2018, her first original full album “WILL” was released. In spring 2020, when she became a high school student, she formed a band with vocals, “Li-sa-X BAND,” which she currently plays in alongside her solo work in instrumental music.
About SAKI:
In 2010, SAKI made a splash with the debut of her band mixx. After the dissolution of mixx, she joined Mary’s Blood in 2012, and made a return to the limelight. While continuing to play with Mary’s Blood, SAKI started a new project NEMOPHILA in 2019 along with Muratatamu (Dr.) and others. In 2020, SAKI formed a new band with former Dragonforce and current Kreator musician Frédéric Leclercq(Ba.), with plans to release an album soon. She was the first female endorser of Killer Guitars. SAKI has participated in works and live performances with many other artists, both as an arranger and performer. She has also participated in OZZFEST as the supporting guitarist for the second generation of Animetal. She was ranked #7 in “BURRN!” Magazine ( a first for a female guitarist). In addition to playing the guitar, she uses her writing skills to write live reports and columns in various music magazines
About Ediee Ironbunny:
Ediee Ironbunny is a cyborg guitarist who’s traveled from the year 2300. After Rock and distortion had disappeared from the world in his time, he has traveled back to the present day to restore the glory of rock and change history. His cyborg body was altered to withstand the pressure of time traveling; He only re-tains the parts of his human body that connect with musical instruments, like his fingertips. After his arraival in our time in November 2018, Eddie appeared at NAMM Show 2019 in California and made his name known to the world. In March the same year, he invited three female vocalists to form the rock unit IRONBUNNY. They later released the mini-album ‘Iron Hummer Alternative’ which featured 80s-style classic hard rock accented with modern-day phrasing. The overall sound has both nostalgic and contemporary elements. Ediee is a purist and believes that you can’t have rock music without long guitar solos and picking harmonics.
