Number Girl was one of the bigger names to come out of the Fukuoka rock scene. As their star rose higher and shined brighter, they benefited by touring with higher profile bands. Two of the bands that toured with Number Girl were long established and very popular indie bands Bloodthirsty Butchers and Eastern Youth.
Known now as an indie band, Eastern Youth started as an Oi!/Skinhead band in the late eighties. (Note: Oi! is a workingman's sub-genre of punk music. It's music that's as simple and direct as you can get and without the art school pedigree.) The band formed under childhood friends Hisashi Yoshino (vocals, guitar), Atsuya Tamori (drums), and Toru Mitsuhashi (bass). They released their debut album East End Land in 1989.
Here is the discography surrounding Eastern Youth's debut album:
