They gathered as a band in 2004 after sisters Rie and Saori had created a unique sound more influenced by the disslike of what they heard in Japanese Pop music. The music THE SUZAN plays is absolute original sound that takes in every kinds of music; Pop, Wild dance, Punk, Garage Rock and so on. The results THE SUZAN produce is a fresh sound easy to memorize but an exciting new sound for your soul to fall in love with .

As you can see, The Suzan been been around for a while, and their major-label album debuted last year. But I only just discovered them this week on a Happy Mundane post featuring the video for "Home." It's so fun, stylish, and makes me want to dance!
