Formed in 2013, Saucy Dog—vocalist and guitarist Shinya Ishihara, bassist Akizawa Kazutaka and drummer Seto Yuika—is an indie band with an upbeat sound and intimate live presence. They often evoke natural, everyday imagery in titles such as 2017’s Country Road and 2020’s Take Me, while audiences respond to their endearing authenticity. It’s no wonder they’ve consistently sold out tours, encouraging listeners to take in their warm, comforting musical presence.
