Z-MACHINE is taking the Japanese music scene by storm! Touring the country with popular Japanese artists like pop-duo AMOYAMO and creating a lot of buzz around their music but there is something a little different about this band…they’re robots!
Z-MACHINE is a three man (or should we say three-bot) band, created by inventor Yoichiro Kawaguchi, a professor at the University of Tokyo. The members of the band are: Mach, the guitarist who uses 78 fingers and 12 picks on his guitar; Cosmo, the keyboard/ keyboardist (he’s attached to the keyboard) who shoots lasers out of his eyes for a cool light show; and Ashura, the drummer who can play 22 drums at the same time!
With their skills and extra fingers and equipment, Z-MACHINE could go up against some of the greatest human-bands out there. Professor Kawaguchi teamed up with musician DJ TASAKA to create songs for the band to learn and they have already become a huge hit in Japan! They hope to one day send Z-MACHINE to the Moon or even to the North Pole of Mars, to be the first rock band to play in space!
