Wagakki Band (Japanese: 和楽器バンド, Hepburn: Wagakki Bando) was a Japanese band that combines rock and metal music with wagakki instruments and Shigin poetries.
Their early songs were adapted from Vocaloid, with their music videos for the songs "Tengaku" (天樂) and "Senbonzakura" (千本桜) attracting millions of views online before their first album was released. In 2015, their first album of original material, Yasō Emaki, debuted at number one on the Oricon Albums Chart and won a Japan Record Award. Their fourth album, Otonoe (2018), also won a Japan Record Award. Wagakki Band have performed live in Asia, Europe, and the United States.
