Synth
| “ | This guy plays synthesizer and is the group’s founder. He’s out to restore some indie dignity to Inkopolis’s music scene that’s lately been taken over by giant pop stars. When it comes to songwriting, he lets others take the initiative. He prefers tinkering with sounds to performing, and the studio is a much more comfortable place for him than the stage. | ” |
His Japanese name is KAGI and he is an Inkling. According to the HaikaraWalker art book, he founded the band using social networking services, and does not like performing live, rather spending time in the studio.
Vocals & Guitar
| “ | Wet Floor also has two members that play guitar and provide vocals. The guy on the left is a fan of vintage rock sounds. You can hear it in the sharp, jangly rhythms of his riffs. The girl on the right is a faithful follower of the church of punk rock, and she carves out riffs with a more hunky, bass-heavy sound. These two don’t always see eye-to-eye, but when they’re in the groove, their two distinct sounds meld into a medley of magical music. | ” |
Japanese names are MIZOLE and RYAN and they are both Inklings.
Rhythm
| “ | These two bring a fast-paced technical beat to the group’s sound that’s every bit as crucial as the members who play up front. The guy on bass has a trademark string-slapping style, while the drummer uses her multiple limbs to keep a driving, super-stable backbeat. The friendly rivalry these two share makes the band sizzle with thrilling rhythm. | ” |
Japanese name for drummer is KAZAMI and she is a candy crab. Japanese name for bass player is TSUMABUSHI and he is a cutthroat eel.
