RNA:
It all started in 2013 with a collaboration between K2 Kusafuka and Eiko Ishibashi, who met through social networking sites, and F. Kosakai and Kusafuka, an old acquaintance who released a collaborative album around the same time. RNA has been performing at a leisurely pace, getting together only once a year for a live performance. Their improvisational performances are noisy, but undeniably rock and no-wave.
