COOL JOKE is a Japanese rock band formed in 2001, originally active in the Fukui prefecture indie scene. The group consists of vocalist Hiroya Ishikawa, guitarist Taku Asabata, drummer Hiroyuki Saito, and bassist Keita Hayashi. Their major breakthrough came in May 2004 with the release of the single "UNDO", which served as the opening theme for the anime Fullmetal Alchemist, gaining them national recognition. Following their debut, COOL JOKE released a total of four singles and one full-length album under a major label. Despite the early success, the band parted ways with their record company in January 2006 due to differing views on the direction of their music and band identity. Since then, COOL JOKE has continued their career independently, returning to their roots in the indie music scene while retaining a loyal fanbase. Their sound blends melodic rock with emotionally charged vocals and energetic instrumentation, characteristics that defined their debut and continue to shape their music today.
