About MAN WITH A MISSION

This Japanese alternative rock band was formed in Shibuya, Tokyo, in 2010. They are known for their high-energy blend of rock, alternative metal, and electronic elements. MWAM gained a cult following both in Japan and internationally for their songs from anime such as The Seven Deadly Sins, Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans, and Inuyashiki.

Fans love their music because the lyrics blend English and Japanese, making the songs easy to connect with. While they wear wolf masks to preserve their anonymity, the gimmick plays well into their riveting theatrical live performances. Their music pulses with themes of perseverance, self-discovery, and defiance. It’s all electrified by their raw energy and influence from Western rock legends such as Nirvana, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Muse.
