A band built on live shows and piano-driven pop, with hits like 'Pretender' and anime placements.
For a good sense of their sound, try 'Subtitle' or '115man Kilo No Film'. They're both solid examples of how the piano and vocals work together.
They started playing small venues and local festivals in Okayama, and that live energy carried into their breakout single 'Sukima Kaze' in 2018. Songs like 'Subtitle' and 'Pretender' show their blend of pop, rock, and soul, anchored by Satoshi Fujihara's vocals and Daisuke Ozasa's piano. Their music has also found a home in anime series like 'My Hero Academia' and 'Spy x Family'.
The band formed in 2012 when Fujihara and Ozasa met at a music school in Okayama, later adding three more members. After years of local gigs, 'Sukima Kaze' topped the Oricon chart in 2018, followed by number-one hits like 'Pretender' and 'I Love.' on the Billboard Japan Hot 100. Their lineup has stayed the same since those early days.
