  .Member SOMAOTA(Vo),ONISAWA(Vo),takaosoma(Gt),TAKEHIRO(Ba),Hiroki Ishio(Pf),Arumu Kuga(Dr),Daiki Yasuhara(Sax,Fl) .Profile A "nerdy and hard" HIPHOP collective "Black petrol" - reinterpreting frontier music such as Contemporary Jazz, Rare Groove and Progressive Rock with a HIPHOP sensibility. The group was formed in Kyoto's musical scene by members with high musical ability who were well versed in their respective genres while still in university. The coldness of asphalt and the warmth of human skin that leader takaosoma experienced while living on the streets as a homeless person are incorporated into poetic raps by SOMAOTA, who is highly regarded in the HIPHOP scene as a bilingual rapper, and ONISAWA, who also works as a documentary writer. The result is a "realistic" yet highly sophisticate perspective. On December 1, 2021, they released their first album "MYTH" based on the concept of a man's life. Same year, guest act for SMTK's first release tour of "SIREN PROPAGANDA", the 2nd album of "SMTK", a band formed by Japan's leading drummer Shun Ishiwaka. On July 7, 2023,Planning to hold "Black Opal", a joint project with Khamai Leon, as an own project.
