Softball

Softball was an all-female punk band from Chiba, Japan. The band members — Moe (vocals/guitar), Nomiya (bass), and Rie (drums) — got together while still in high school. Mike Park signed them to Asian Man Records, and they released their first American album in 1999. In Japan, they were signed to Einstein Records. They disbanded in March 2003. Later Moe formed a new, very similar-sounding all-female band, named Akiakane, also under Einstein Records.
