Biography
Fuji Hakayito is a make-shift band whose style ranges from classic country to invasive f@*k-rock. The band was formed in 2008, when lead singer/frontman Fuji Hakayito was on a spelunking expedition in Gibraltar. According to sources, he had dived to the bottom of the world's deepest cave, and found what appeared to be a "mudkip" attatched to a large mass embedded in the rock. Upon pulling the mass from the earth, he had discovered that the mudkip was attatched to the face of a man named Art Irizawa. It has been said that the action of pulling the mudkip clear of Irizawa's face was "the most painful thing he (Mr. Irizawa) has experienced in his life". At this point, according to Hakayito himself, both Irizawa and the mudkip recited the following phrase in perfect unison: "And thus it shall be". It is because of this occurrence that the band's original name was "Mudkip".
After being emergency-airlifted from the caves of Gibraltar directly to Hakayito's home in Aurora, Illinois, the two men set forth to create the most ungodly sounds imaginable, as tribute to the mudkip who sealed their fate together forever. Enlisting the help of a world-renowned drummer known as "GarageBand" (also known as "Macbook"), they recorded and produced three or four demo's of songs that would come to be their biggest hits, such as "Loose Lipsync Ships" and "Surf Suit". Knowing that their first show was only three days away, and being unsatisfied with the rhythm section, they fired GarageBand and asked two real men to replace it.
Guitarist Johnny Honda, a descendant of British royalty, was added to the line-up for his well-known abrasive guitar textures, and general lewd-ness. His passion to be arrested constantly within a mental labyrinth of Jim Beam had impressed Hakayito and Irizawa so intensely that they joined him in several nights of debauchery (or as they called them, "wolverine nights"). It was after one of these fateful nights when they all awoke in a Columbian prison cell with an inmate who claims to had been there for over 400 years. His name was Tonto. After 10 minutes, being unhappy with the treatment they were receiving (including blows to the skull, whippings and much gibberish), the foursome decided they would hatch an escape plan. They lulled the prison guards into a permanent slumber by ad-libbing a song together that would eventually become the basis of their monster hit "Fresh Heir". While the guards were asleep, they simply opened their cell door and were suprise-emergency-airlifted from the jungles of Columbia back to Hakayito's home in Aurora, IL. There was an extravagant ceremony welcoming Tonto into the band as their new drummer.
Their time spent held captive by natives in Columbia had made such an impression on their spirituality that for their first few shows, the band had donned the traditional "white-face" make-up which their captors wore while obviously making fun of them. At their very first show, they completely destroyed a venue previously known as Camas Books, beyond recognition. This angered the anarchists who "ran" the shop, so through many hours of ritualistic animal slaughter, the group resurrected the fallen bookstore. Many thanks were given, and many shows were to be played at the venue since, including the band's "final show".
After a few months hiatus, the group reformed for a reunion concert, this time enlisting the aid of former software giant Chip Mao (a.k.a. "Chairman Dave" or sometimes "Prius"). His algorhythms were translated to drum-format and because of this, the band's sound sky-rocketed towards certain success. Drummer Tonto was quoted to have said "fuck drums" while picking up a guitar for the very first time in his life. The other band-members swear that at that moment, they witnessed a brilliant flash of light, followed by an excrutiating level of sorrow, followed by a complete turn back to regular normal light and feeling. They believe that during this strange flash, Tonto was blessed with the ability to play guitar perfectly along to all of the previously written songs. Thus, a new line-up was formed. And the band previously known as "Fuji Hakayito and His Band" was now known simply as "Fuji Hakayito" or "F. Hakayito" for short. Or "Fuji H." for even shorter.
Currently, the band spend their time crafting, working odd jobs, and trying to have an actual "final show". They are available for weddings, and Star Wars conventions only. They will perform for free.
