About
Sawa is an alternative pop rock indies singer songwriter quickly making a name for herself in Japan and abroad. She originally formed a band also named SAWA featuring herself on vocals and guitar, accompanied by Zizi (Guitar/Chorus) and other friends. Their sound could range from sweet sounding yet haunting ballads. To uptempo futuristic sounding grooves.
Their first album “Three Three Three” was released in May 2009 to a very good reception. However after release of their EP “Figure and Shadow” the band went their separate ways. In 2010 Sawa and Zizi have formed a new band, SAWAS PHOOL (pronounced “fool” but is Hindi for flower) making their debut at JIN Radio’s live indie music show.
Lead singer Sawa, who has lived in the US, is bilingual and has performed in both countries. She has written and performed songs in both English and Japanese, bringing a strong international flavor to the Japan Indies scene. They are currently working on more new songs to present to the world. Check them out soon!
What does SAWS PHOOL means?!
=SAWAS=
I added "S" in the end of my former band, SAWA. Because, I wanted to have a name that shows it's not only "me" but together with all my friends, collaborating through music.
=PHOOL=
This word came from the Hindi word, and it means "flower".
The pronunciation of this word is same as the English word "fool".
So, when somebody first heard this name... I guess many people will come up with the word image of "Sawa's fool".
>>>But wait! You've just heard the name, right
Or, when somebody first saw this name written on somewhere... maybe many people will think it's a band from India or somewhere around that area, but not from Japan.
>>>Wait! Wait!! You've just saw their name, right?
(Yea~. I like to play fool sometimes, like this..."fool" and "phool" lol
... and I think, humor is one of the most important element for the creations.) ;)
Have you seen them
Have you heard them
Have you ever get in touch with them
I'm always trying NOT to be stereotypical. To see things through a certain colored lens might give you some sort of comfort by protecting you from that certain colored virus. But at the same time, it will leave you with narrow-minded thoughts and fewer chances to explore and discover new exciting opportunities. When you see one thing from different angles and aspects, you can broaden your chances to enjoy your life in full and expand your inspirations!!!
I hope SAWAS PHOOL can be a good reminder for the "humorous" and "stereotypical", and most of all I hope you can "Enjoy" the life we create through our music.
I wish to grow this flower -- SAWAS PHOOL -- together with all my musician friends, families, any sorts of artist and creators, all my fans and friends, and especially you.
