"l’avion" is from Tokyo, Japan.
4th album, "Pickles", it’s filled with love, peace and their emotional stories.

"I can see some pictures in their borderless and ganre-less music. It makes me feel like traveling somewhere. After coming back to Earth I feel like listening to it again. Listening to their music, people get addicted to it! —DrillSpin: Tomoaki Sekiwa"

The lead guitarist, Shinya Arasuna is originally from Hiroshima, Japan. Vocalist, Mari Shiina is originally from Niigata, Japan. They started playing and making music together in Tokyo in 2011 after the north-east Earthquake. They always think about the majesty of nature and the love that to present in the world.

Mari said, "Thanks to the love from family, friends and fans, We are always encouraged to learn new things. Without our family, friends and fans.. I can do nothing…"
Her voice is filled with kindness. And the lyrics which she writes wrap people’s heart with love.

Their original songs can’t be expressed in words or genres. They are leaning Jazz and Brazilian music. But still taste like a little Japanese Pops or folk…

Shinya said, "Harmony, Melody and Rhythm can’t be expressed in words, just exist and I just feel them. Lots of music and great musicians always inspire me. But the only thing I can say is they love music. And so do I."

Their performance wrap up the audience with affectionate atmosphere… as if the audience saw an emotional movie. Their sounds are delicate but not weak.
They played not only in Tokyo but all over Japan before they moved to NYC. They often played tiny jazz clubs and cafes with one small amp. It was enough to play at tiny places for them. And they liked feeling natural sounds.

They moved to NYC in December 2016.
They are still learning and improving.
