SEKAI NO OWARI is a Japanese pop band, originating from Tokyo. The band was formed in 2005 and has four members: Nakajin, Fukase, Saori and DJ Love.

The band has performed at the renowned Nissan Stadium, Japan’s largest concert venue and are currently considered to be one of the biggest music acts from Japan. Their live performances and concerts are also subject to praise, being considered one of the highest quality produced musical events worldwide, often being compared with music festivals such as Tomorrowland and Ultra Music Festival. The band’s members have also produced and written content for several Japanese singers and groups and lead vocalist Fukase has inspired a synthesized Vocaloid character of himself.

Sekai no Owari started as an alternative rock band but later adopted concepts of J-pop and experimented with other genres. The band expressed their wish to “not to be thrown into any particular box…” and attempted to develop a diverse style. The band’s music ranges from electro-pop to jazz, rock and classical music, merging them into a fantasy-inspired concept.

Sekai no Owari performs internationally as “End of the World”. They have a number of songs which are in English, in order to better reach an international audience. The band has stated in interviews that they feel a non-Japanese audience will not connect as well with Japanese (language) music, and so they try to write English language music from a different perspective.

Guitarist and sound producer Nakajin has also contributed vocals. He wrote and performed “Tonight” and 炎の戦士 (“Honou no Senshi,” “Flame Warrior”), from Sekai no Owari’s second album, Entertainment, as well as “Goodbye,” from their album Lip, and “Doppelganger,” from their album Eye.
