Home Made Kazoku consists of three male performers. They are named Micro, Kuro and DJ U-Ichi. Micro and Kuro are the singers in the group; DJ U-Ichi handles the DJ duties. The group members cite Michael Jackson, Lenny Kravitz and Jay-Z as pertinent musical influences.
Micro and Kuro were originally in a band with several other members; the other members eventually departed. The duo met U-Ichi when he approached them to play at an event he was organizing. The group largely performs in Japan, but made its U.S. debut in 2010.
Home Made Kazoku songs have been featured as theme music in a number of Japanese anime television series. "Thank You!!" -- the group's theme for the show "Bleach" -- helped raise public awareness of the group and became a large hit, according to J-Pop World. The popularity of anime in the United States has raised the group's American profile.
