There are at least five artists named Zion. 1. ZION (ザイオン) is a Japanese alternative rock band from Tokachi, Hokkaido. Vocals & Guitar - Mitsumura Tatsuya (光村龍哉; ex NICO touches the Walls) Guitar - Kushino Keisuke (櫛野啓介; ex jealkb as sapoto) Guitar - Yoshizawa Sachio (吉澤幸男; GAGAKIRIZE, 平方根レジェンド, Loloet) Drums - Naruhashi Taichi (鳴橋大地) Bass - Sato Shinnosuke (佐藤慎之介) Formed in Tokyo in 2020. The band's name ZION comes from a visit to Zion National Park by members Mitsumura and Kushino in the United States . Mitsumura also said, "Among the FM radio stations in the United States, ZION was the name of a station that I thought was great. The songs they played were old bands like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones , and then suddenly Vampire Weekend . They played old and new rock all the time, and that felt really good." The band's first EP, Mountainphonic, was also inspired by the scenery and smell of the rugged rocky mountains they experienced during a visit to Zion National Park. The key visual for their 2023 live show "ZION LIVE (((( 4 Peaks ))))" was taken at Zion National Park. Since September 2020, they have been based in the studio "White House", which was renovated by DIY from an old house in Tokachi, Hokkaido. In August 2021, they started performing live in Sapporo. They were selected as the RISING★STAR audition slot at RISING SUN ROCK FESTIVAL 2022 in EZO in August 2022, and will be the opening act. In December 2022, they released their first album "SUN'n'JOY".
