GARNET CROW is a four-piece Japanese band consisting of a vocalist, two keyboardists and a guitarist. The unique composition of the band, along with Yuri Nakamura's deeper vocals than her contemporaries, makes this band stand out from other Japanese bands. What also makes this band unique, is that each member is successful in their own right. Although it is Nakamura and Azuki who are usually in the limelight, Furui is a well sought after music arranger (One of the highest paid in Japan) and Okamoto has a successful solo career.
