Kikagaku Moyo
were a Japanese psychedelic band founded in Tokyo. The band's name translates to "geometric patterns." Name Kikagaku Moyo (in Japanese Kanji 幾何学模様, transliterated ''Kikagaku Moyō'') translates to “geometric patterns”, which the drummer Go Kurosawa suggested as a band name after getting visuals caused by sleep deprivation during a long jam session at night. In a 2014 interview with the '' It’s Psychedelic Baby!'' magazine, Go recalls the moment at which he came up with the name: “It means geometric patterns, which I saw on the back of my eyelids after jamming all night long. I was totally in the “zone”, half awake and half asleep, but my hands were tapping the drums involuntarily.

History In the summer of 2012 in Tokyo, Go Kurosawa - who came to be the drummer in what would become Kikagaku Moyo - met Tomo Katsurada - the future guitarist - who had co ...
