以Drum&Bass音樂為中心，加上Glitch Hop與House等風格的日本樂團THE GAME SHOP常於亞洲地區展開不同的巡迴演出。擅長於重音樂及電子曲風的他們，不論在日本或是亞洲的派對音樂和搖滾圈子裡也可聽聞他們的蹤跡。
THE GAME SHOP is a bass music band in Japan actively going on international wide tour in the heart of Asia. Fundamentally wrapped with style of drum and bass music with the addition of glitch hop, dub step and house music, they are dubbed the club scene and rock scene.
THE GAME SHOP於2014及2015年在台灣、香港、馬來西亞、新加坡等亞太國家進行了不同的巡迴演出、甚至於台灣的山海屯音樂節與Limp Bizkit與THE USED等知名樂隊同場演出。除了亞洲巡演，THE GAME SHOP曾在日本「a-nation」、「舞音樂祭」、「名古屋Freedom」等多不勝數的音樂節演出，更曾於自己舉辦的活動中創下多於 300人全數售罄的紀錄。
In 2014 and 2015, THE GAME SHOP toured around Asia countries such as Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore etc. They even shared the stage with Limp Bizkit and THE USED at the Heart Town Festival in Taiwan. Moreover, they performed in numerous music festivals like “a-nation” , “舞音楽祭”, “名古屋Freedom” etc. in Japan. They even got a sold-out record with more than 300 people coming over to their own event.
將派對音樂與搖滾互相交融，THE GAME SHOP希望可於這兩派的樂壇裡創下新的步伐。他們曾推出的兩張迷你專輯《Control Game》 與《FUTURE GAME》除了於全日流通外，更在iTunes和Beatport等國際媒體網路商店發售。
As the music scene keeps developing and is always being unpredictable, THE GAME SHOP is interested in making new movement in the club scene and rock scene.They launched two mini albums “Control Game” and “FUTURE GAME” that can be purchased Japan-wide and from some world wide software-based online digital media store such as iTunes and Beatport.
THE GAME SHOP希望可以持續擴展他們的音樂眼界，樂團主唱KIMITO與鍵盤手McD現於不同的派對場合以DJ set進行展出，更擔任不同音樂人的創作監製。
Keep broadening their musical horizon, the vocalist KIMITO and the synthesizer and manipulator McD of the band are now open for club acts in style of DJ set, track-making and even music producers for other musicians.
不論以什麼形式發展，THE GAME SHOP也可為聽眾帶來不同的新鮮感及期待。即使Drum&Bass音樂在日本並不算流行，加上以live band型式演出的派對音樂的人更是少之有少，但他們正在努力推廣這類型的音樂，而他們的谮力確實可讓他們的音樂不只在日本，更可在世界各地興起。
Even though Drum and Bass music is still not really popular and familiar and there even not many club music bands in the Japanese Music scene ,THE GAME SHOP still striving to develop and promote more on this genre of music and they do have a big potential to be more successful not only in Japan but also in other foreign countries.
