The Mononofruits are a Japanese rock band formed in the deep south of Yokohama City in summer 1999.
Tommy Iko (vocal/songwriting) and Minoru Midrivers (guitars) have been the band's continual members.
They were classmates in high school and trying to embody "The Belated Summer of Love" of a 30-years delay with a feeling of the apocalypse.
The Mononofruits was named for "the root and fruition of the soul of SAMURAI (mononofu)" when Iko was absorbed in "Bushido the soul of Japan"
They are currently involved in an illusory American music in Tokyo after a repeated break from work due to band’s member change.

The Mononofruits are:

Tommy Iko (song write/vocal)

Minoru Midrivers (guitar)

Hassy hashimottau (fender bass)

－　1999年、夏。終末感が漂う中、30年遅れのサマー・オブ・ラブを体現すべく
高校の同級生であった相子と中川を中心に横濱深南部にてモノノフルーツ結成。
当時、武士道にかぶれていた相子が「武士の魂の結実であり源流」を表現すると命名。バンド名は造語。
度重なるメンバーチェンジに活動休止を繰り返す。
現在、流行に捉われず幻想の米国的音楽を追求し、都内を中心に活動中。
