   About Cuba Is Japan
CUBA IS JAPAN are a conceptual group who write music to explore the immeasurable depth of beauty in this world like nearly all explorers before us have. Overshadowing limits and wandering places never before known. CUBA IS JAPAN are currently writing music inspired by the Franklin Arctic disaster of 1846-1851. CUBA IS JAPAN'S debut LP has been produced by the sublime American producer KRAMER (Galaxie 500 & Low among others) and will be released soon. Limited edition Malaysia/Taiwan/China Tour EPs available at shows.

There were flowers leftover on stage last night, so I pilfered them. They're now upright in my vase at home. You four are so beautiful and alive. I was very entertained
