Mononkul

• Sara Yoshida - Vocal, lyrics, composition and arrangement
• Ryuta Tsunoda - Bass, lyrics, composition and arrangement - singer, drummer Tsunoda ☆ Hiro is his uncle.

Formed in 2011 by Yoshida and Tsunoda, who were active as jazz musicians. After releasing the 1st mini-album as an indie, Kikuchi Naruyoshi produced.^[1] Released 4th album with self-produced at the beginning of 2018.

The band's name was pinned by Tsunoda, who heard that there was a magazine called "Monkuru" supervised by Juzo Itami, and liked the sound of the word rather than the meaning of the word itself.^[2] Itami's "Mononkuru" itself seems to have come from "Mon Oncle (My uncle)" because there is also a work with the same name.
