Too Much Too Young are a Japanese ska-punk band active from 2006 to 2010. They form around a sound described in Japanese as a mix of “full of tea and Specials-like” elements with a 1990s feel, and later shift towards a more short, tight and simple band sound. The group also says it is “living in the present” while fitting its activities around work and study.

Activity and profile

The band organises its own occasional event, Special Beat Madness, which it describes as a self-run bill made up of bands it likes. Their work sits within ska punk and ska punk-related styles, with the title tags also associating them with Japan and love.

The group’s members are listed as Show on vocals, Wakao on guitar, Gorilla on guitar, Porky on bass, Oats on drums, Kenta on keyboards, Conchi on trumpet, Kino on trombone, and Yusuke on tenor saxophone. Gorilla is noted as returning to the countryside.
