Draft:Jyocho

Jyocho (じょうちょ) is a Japanese progressive and math rock band.

History
Following the disbandment of Daijiro Nakagawa's previous band Uchu Conbini, he initially began Jyocho as a solo project with support from other musicians. He eventually decided to work with them more closely and include them in a band. Nakagawa intended the group to have their debut performance in 2016 at the Canadian tour of Next Music from Tokyo, where he had previously appeared with Uchu Conbini. However, vocalist Rionos was unwilling to perform. The band eventually performed in October 2017 with the vocalist Nekota Netako.

In January 2023, the band's song "As the Gods Say" was featured as the opening theme of Junji Ito Maniac: Japanese Tales of the Macabre and appeared on an extended play of the same title.
