Mouse on the Keys is a Tokyo-born trio blending post-rock, jazz-inflected rhythms, and electronic textures into expansive, cinematic soundscapes. Since forming in 2007, the project has evolved into a showcase of complex two-keyboard arrangements and dynamic live performances. The current lineup features Akira Kawasaki on drums, Daisuke Niitome on keyboards, and Takumi Shiroeda on piano/keyboards, with former member Atsushi Kiyota transitioning out in 2021 and Shiroeda joining in 2022. Their music traverses groove-driven momentum and melodic whimsy, creating a distinctive voice within modern instrumental music.
