PLASTICZOOMS, led by the charismatic singer and fashion icon SHO ASAKAWA is ready to hit Europe for their first European tour, as well as their single “VEILED EYES”.
Combining elements of 70’s punk, 80’s post-punk, new wave, and gothic genres all into the core of a new sense of sound, they seek to establish themselves in ways beyond precedent in their native Tokyo scene. They are PLASTICZOOMS. Frontman Sho Asakawa, in keeping with the spirit of DIY, personally directs and produces their music, artwork, merchandise, and all other creative endeavors.
The members were featured models in the magazine THE REALITY SHOW, photographed by Nobuyoshi Araki. Soon after, they collaborated during Tokyo Fashion Week with the trendsetting Japanese fashion company DISCOVERED, producing clothing and providing the soundtrack for the collection through the release of their second album, STARBOW. Additional collaborations around this time included jewellery with accessory brand JAM HOMEMADE and creative exchanges with UK streetwear brand LONG CLOTHING.
