Hiroki Kamemoto’s blues-infused, emotionally resonant guitar playing forms the backbone of Glim Spanky’s sound, perfectly complementing the husky, distinctive vocals of bandmate Remi Matsuo. Drawing inspiration from the music, fashion, and art of the 1960s and 70s, Kamemoto has crafted a sound that feels timeless yet fresh.

Since their major debut in 2014, Glim Spanky has risen to prominence in Japan's music scene, performing a sold-out headlining show at Budokan and taking the iconic GREEN STAGE at FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL in 2018. The duo has also made its mark on pop culture by writing music for TV dramas, movies, and anime, including the theme song “Ikari Wo Kureyo” for the 2016 hit film One Piece Film Gold.

This year, Glim Spanky celebrated the 10th anniversary of their major debut with a nationwide tour and released the compilation album All The Greatest Dudes, a milestone in their dynamic career.
