Imari Tones is a rock band from Japan.

It started as Tak “Tone” Nakamine’s personal recording project circa 1998.

It evolved into an actual band in 2004.

Tak Nakamine found his faith in Jesus Christ in early 2008, and decided to play Christian music.

Since then, Imari Tones has declared themselves as “The first Christian heavy metal band from Japan” and been playing internationally, touring the United States and Japan with other Christian musicians.

Although they are primarily known to play 1980’s style classic heavy metal, Imari Tones’ music is fairly diverse, combining the elements of Progressive, Alternative and J-Pop.

They might be another indie band in the world, but they are devoted to one special mission: Spreading God’s Love among people in Japan, and the world.
