■.(dot)any
The group was formed in 2017 after being introduced by an acquaintance.
At first, Fujita refused to join because he thought he wouldn’t be able to get along with the band members. He happened to see a chipped logo on an amplifier, and misread it as “.any,” which led to the band’s name. He makes songs about the depressing and stagnant moments of everyday life, not in a pessimistic or positive way, but simply by vividly capturing them.
He is currently active mainly in Shimokitazawa.
