Wananabani-en(ワナナバニ園 in Japanese) is Japanese experimental rock/pop instrumental combo who includes two bass guitars , drums and unique eletric handmade musical instruments - Kaisatsuko and Ribbon Controller. The band was formed in 2010 by the musicians who are active in a variety of musical projects in Tokyo. The background of their music includes rock, pop, jazz, funk, prog rock, alternative, math rock, ethnic, dance, contemporary music, free improvisation and so on. And the compositions consist poly-rhythm, irregular meter and unique melodic/chord progression. This band can't be played so much chords, because of their instrument characteristics. It is, if anything, gathered monophonic lines. Nevertheless, this constraint brings the their-ness. And their motto is that making odd/bizarre yet pop/danceable music. They often have gigs mainly in Tokyo. They are expected in the underground music scene.
