Guruguru Eigakan (グルグル映畫館; Revolving Movie Theater) is a four member Japanese rock band from Nagoya. The group was formed sometime during the autumn of 1995, with their first live being on November 11th, 1995. The only original member that stayed through the few member line-up changes is vocalist Amano Tonbimaru. They are also an angura-kei band, influenced by the ero guro movement.

On May 9th, 2010 it was announced that the band will be going into an activity pause after their summer tour finale on August 29th at Takadanobaba CLUB PHASE.
