The 5.6.7.8's are a Japanese rock band from Tokyo with a sound that draws heavily from 1960s Garage Rock, Rock’n’Roll, Surf, Rockabilly, Punk Rock, Psychobilly and Beat.

The 5.6.7.8's formed when Sachiko and Yoshiko "Ronnie" Fujiyama, two sisters from Tokyo who both shared a passion for rock and roll, founded the band in 1986 with two other members.

After several line-up changes (including the bassist Yoshiko "Yama" Yamaguchi, who was the bassist featured in the Kill Bill movie), the band eventually became a trio. Yoshiko and Sachiko are still the main components in the band, and now Akiko Omo has rejoined the band as the bass guitarist (she originally joined The 5.6.7.8's in the early 1990s).

The 5.6.7.8’s and Miss Ludella Black (The Delmonas, Thee Headcoatees) have been friends for longer then they can remember, the band having a keen interest in the music from Medway, UK. Sharing stages throughout the years, across the land, in 2022, The 5.6.7.8’s were joined by The Masonics on their five-night UK tour, with Miss Ludella Black joining both groups onstage too.

During The 5.6.7.8’s eight-night UK tour in 2024, not only did Miss Ludella Black join the band onstage at London’s 229 venue, but they also booked into Medway’s Ranscombe Studios to record four of their fave hits.

This four-track 7” EP includes covers of The Pretty Things’ ‘Come See Me’, Ray Charles’ ‘What’d I Say’, John Barry’s ‘Beat Girl’ and The Pretender’s ‘Kid’.
