Asobi Seksu (colloquial Japanese for "playful sex") is a rock band based in New York City. Their sound was said to draw influence from the shoegazing genre, which was coined to describe the textured and effects-heavy sound of certain alternative rock in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The band consists of Yuki Chikudate (vocals, keyboards), James Hanna (guitar, vocals) and Ben Shapiro (drums).
Asobi Seksu released their eponymous debut album in 2004. The band regrouped with a new rhythm section for their second album, Citrus, which was recorded in Gigantic Studios, New York City with producer Chris Zane. Released in 2006 by Friendly Fire.
One Little Indian Records re-released the band's first album Asobi Seksu and the follow-up Citrus in 2007.
Asobi Seksu was recently featured in the fifth episode of the fifth season of the American hit television show The L Word, and the first episode of the second season of the British television series Skins.
