The Wonder Soul Style
The Wonder Soul Style is a defunct band formed in the Shinjuku ward of Tokyo. In 1998 performed monthly at Shimokitazawa GARAGE.[1]
The band signed with the Hit & Run label under Sony Music. Japanese pop and rock was changing, reflected in their music and that of other contemporary Western infused acts such as Puffy AmiYumi, SPARKS GOGO, Unicorn (Japanese band), and detroit7.[2]

The final performance of The Wonder Soul Style took place at Shimokitazawa GARAGE on May 8, 2005.[4]
