Kobukuro (Kobukuro) was formed in 1998 by Kentaro Obuchi and Shunsuke Kuroda. The two met while singing on the streets of Osaka. Like-minded Obuchi and Kuroda decided to quit their jobs and form a band to pursue their musical ideals together. The group name of コブクロ comes from the surnames of two members, Kobu from Kobuchi Obuchi, and Kuro from Kuroda Kuroda, which in Chinese translates to "Bitter Cola". After more than two years of development in Indies, they debuted with the single "YELL/Bell" in 2001. Their works are mainly based on folk music, and their fresh and natural style adds a different flavor to the music scene. Kobukuro's first greatest hits album "All Singles Best" is a complete collection of all their singles since their debut, including their debut song "YELL" and their famous work, which is the theme of the Japanese drama "The Glass Island" starring Narumi Riko and Takenouchi Yutaka. The songs "Flowers that bloom only here", "Sakura", and the latest work, the theme song "Kimi to Iu Na no Tsubasa" of the Japanese drama "Regatta" starring Hayami Naomichi.
Shunsuke Kuroda and Kentaro Obuchi, who are from Osaka, are the same age, but they have very different heights. Although the height difference between the two is quite different, they have shown a close connection in their music creation. tacit agreement. Coming from an ordinary living group, they met and formed the two-person group "Ke Ku Ke La" through street singing. Looking back on the music journey along the way, they have always supported and encouraged each other. After going through days of alternating bitterness and joy, and after nearly three years of hard work in street performances and performance activities, I finally had the opportunity to shine and shine. It is precisely because their creations come from the feelings of daily life that they can compose real life stories and music works full of pure emotions. Because of their fresh and natural style of music, which has the power to soothe people's hearts, the two were hailed by the media as a new generation of "healing singers." Starting from the streets, standing on red and white stages and winning the first place on the Oricon Chart, the mortal hero "Kokukola" touched the whole of Japan with his music.
