2BACKKA is a Japanese pop duo that formed in 2016, made up of vocalist and lyricist Kazuma Nagahama and composer-arranger Keito Tsukada. They've mentioned The Beatles, Oasis, and Coldplay as influences, and their songs like 'Harebare' and 'Home' tend to work with pop, rock, and R&B textures.
Their debut single 'Harebare' came out in 2018 and did well commercially, hitting number one on the Oricon Singles Chart. After that they put out albums titled '2BACKKA 1' in 2019 and '2BACKKA 2' in 2021, along with singles such as 'Promise' and 'Hikari'. They've worked with other Japanese artists including Ayaka and LiSA.
In 2019 there was some noise about plagiarism accusations around a song called 'Bloom', which got resolved without much lasting drama. Their catalog includes tracks like 'Itadaki', 'Memories', 'Michi', and 'Namida'.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
