My page on the Japanese band Wino
WINO (ワイノ) is a Japanese five-member rock band. They were mainly influenced by 1990s UK rock and the Britpop movement,
gaining popularity among Japanese UK rock fans.
Their opening theme song "The Sun Also Shines at Night" for the anime "HUNTER×HUNTER" became a smash hit.
However, due to subsequent contract issues, they faced difficulties in continuing their major label activities,
and eventually disbanded in November 2002 after the conclusion of their nationwide tour following the release of their 4th album "EVERLAST."
In February 2024 the band reunited and started touring after nearly 21 years.
