The quartet was formed under the slogan "Love Saitama with Japanese instruments" by four musicians born and living in Saitama Prefecture. The quartet has been well received at various events such as the World Bonsai Convention commemorative event held in Omiya, traditional Japanese arts festival in Koedo Kawagoe, Saitama WABISABI Grand Festival, concerts hosted by halls, and school outreach events. The group's activities are rooted in the local community.
Formed in 2015, 1st album "Saitamatic Vol.1" in 2016, 2nd album "Saitamatic Vol.2" in 2019,
2023 3rd album "Saitamatic Vol.3" will be released.
Original songs include "Koedo Night☆" expressing the lively night of Koedo Kawagoe, "Sakimitama" inspired by the history of Saitama, from which the word "Saitama" comes, "Bonsai no Machi" expressing the grandeur and craftsmanship of bonsai and flowering bonsai from the bonsai town of Omiya, and "Hakugin no Kiri" inspired by the wolf legend of Sannomine Shrine in Chichibu. The "Mist of White Silver" is based on the motif of the legend of wolves in Mimine Shrine.
In order to convey the charms of Saitama and Japanese instruments, the group has unceasing ambitions to conquer all municipalities in Saitama Prefecture in their performances and music, to expand overseas, including sister and friendship cities, to appear on TV programs such as Tele-Tama and Nack5, and to conquer all local sake breweries in Saitama.
