Biography

Vola and the Oriental Machine was formed in 2005 by drummer Ahito Inazawa, born 6 June 1973 in Fukuoka, Japan, who transitioned from percussion to front‑man, guitar and vocals. After departing Zazen Boys, he recruited guitarist Yutaka Aoki, drummer Daiki Nakahata, and bassist Yoshinori Arie, creating a four‑member unit that blended pop and rock elements. The group debuted with the mini‑album Waiting for My Food on 25 January 2006, followed by the single "Hane no Hikari" on 25 October 2006, which established their presence in the Japanese indie scene. In 2007 the full‑length Android: Like a House Mannequin was released, featuring a Polysics‑produced remix that received airplay on national radio. Subsequent releases included the EP Halan'na-ca Darkside ( 2008), the album Sa‑Ka‑Na Electric Device (2009), and Principle ( 2010). The band signed with Universal Music Japan and later Daizawa Records, touring extensively across Japan and participating in several music festivals. In 2014 the EP Regalecus russelii showcased a shift toward experimental sounds, while Transducer (2019) marked another studio effort, accompanied by singles "Mac‑Roy" ( 2019) and "Last Dance" (2019).
