Bananafrog Records: BANDS/バンド

UBERMENSCHEN - Solo Music Project

UBERMENSCHEN is a somewhat experimental solo project.

Ubermenschen is formaerly known as a punk/new wave rock band called Paradise Gang who aggressively played in Tokyo and Kanagawa live scenes in early 80's, but has vanished from the front line for about last 15 years. And now one of the band members started a solo project planning the band reunion in the near future.

These songs were made spontaneously as if they were fallen from sky to his brain. Ubermenschen plays the guitars, bass, and utilizes all kinds of desktop music equipment and software available to him to materialize what pop in his mind.

Hiroshi Kondo - Pop-song writer

I started writing pop songs when I was around 10 years old. Since then, I wrote hundreds of songs but never officially published them. Now, after 35 years, I decided to release them one by one hoping there would be some people found my songs worth listening to. People often compare my songs with the works of The Beatles, Paul McCartney and John Lennon and indeed I love The Beatles and John & Paul more than anything :)

At this moment, I am working as a traditional Japanese musician for Kabuki theatres, but like to focus more and more into pop-music and live performances.
