KARI BAND (仮BAND) was originally formed by three session musicians who are perhaps best known internationally for being members of the backing band to a group that follows a certain fox deity.

Their first mini album was released in the summer of 2017. In January 2018 its guitarist Mikio Fujioka suddenly passed away. A year later the remaining members, BOH on bass and Yuya Maeta on drums, restarted the project and drafted in friends and students of Mikio Fujioka to be guests on the new record.
