Profile
Koenjihyakkei (高円寺百景, "Hundred Sights of Koenji"), also written Koenji Hyakkei, is a Japanese Zeuhl band led by Tatsuya Yoshida of Ruins fame. The band released their first (self-titled) album in 1994 with Aki Kubota from Bondage Fruit on vocals and keyboard. Though rhythmically not as complex as Ruins, Koenjihyakkei still evokes a feeling of unfamiliarity due to non-standard modes and chanting in a nonsensical language. The group has been through a number of personnel changes.
