Haha no. Poikkeus. A Japanese HC punk band that sings in Finnish.
The shirt is from the jacket of their first EP.

In Finnish? Excellent. Since there's been a Japanese band with Spanish lyrics (Corrupted) & Finns shouting in Portuguese (Força Macabra), that can only be a natural progression.

Lol, most fans of j-rock from vk-fangirls to x japan-maniacs know that band in Finland and probably listen to it just because it's kinda funny that there's a band in Japan that writes lyrics in finnish.
Although I doubt they understand HC punk music.
If my memory serves me, there's more than one J-punk band singing in Finnish or am i wrong?

Oh really? ive never met a fangirl who knows who poikkeus are. usually they are just straight up punk fans.
the truth is they are actually fucking awesome raging hardcore punk. i dont really mind what language they sing in since for the style of punk they are you wouldnt be able to tell anyways.
there are a few other punk bands that sing in Finnish in Japan, yeah.
I'm pretty sure Framtid did.

And Laukaus. I don't like 'em too much though.
Btw, Poikkeus means Exception.

Framtid didn't sing in any language but English, but their name is Swedish for "future" (it comes from Sound of Disaster song).
For Japanese Metal I enjoy the punk metal bastard sounds of bands like GISM, SDS, MOBS, and G.A.T.E.S. Unfortunately most traditional Japanese metal sounds like tepid imitations of US metal for me.

Huh, I've heard much more NWOBHM and JUDAS PRIEST -influenced Japametal.
Then again there were bunch of melodic/sleazy and glammed up bands.
