Based in Osaka, MOGA THE ￥５ has been playing since 1995. Unlike the other
Pizza Of Death bands, MOGA THE ￥５chooses to sing every song entirely in
their native Japanese tounge. Since their begining, the band has
self-released almost all of their own material.
In 2000, Pizza of Death re-released their 1st album titled "Haruka Kanata" .
Their follow up, in 2001, titled "Mikansei Ron" (which means "An Incomplete
Theory") has gone on to sell over 20,000 copies. In 2002 they re-released an
album titled "People + 5songs" on Pizza Of Death, which included extra
tracks that were featured on various comps from 1997. Later the same year,
the band released a split-album with close friends NAHT titled "A Strange
Stroke Of Fate"
Their 3rd full length album, titled "Imachizukiyo No Hanashi", was released
in 2004. This saw the band take on new ideas. While still maintaining their
orginal blend of powerful and emotional punk and garage rock, this is the
first time for them to experiment with keyboards and mid-tempo songs.
MOGA's own original and "peculiar" sound, along with the musical ups and
downs takes you on a journey and is perfectly complimented by vocalist
Escargot's passionate vocal style and equaly passionate lyrics...however, he
only sings in Japanese.
