Yorushika is a Japanese alternative rock duo formed in 2015 by guitarist-composer n-buna and vocalist suis. They met in 2013 on the social media platform Pixiv, with n-buna coming from Chiba Prefecture and suis from Nagasaki. Their music often deals with themes of love, loss, and complex emotions, heard in songs like 'Say It' and 'Hitchcock'.
Their sound blends alternative rock with folk and electronic elements, creating a distinctive style that has been featured in anime series such as 'Fruits Basket' and 'Bungou Stray Dogs.' They've performed at venues including the Nippon Budokan and Saitama Super Arena. Other notable tracks include 'Dakara Boku Wa Ongaku Wo Yameta' and 'Tada Kimi Ni Hare.'
In 2018, the band faced plagiarism accusations regarding their song 'Yume Tourou,' which n-buna addressed as a matter of inspiration rather than copying. Some listeners have also commented on the melancholic tone of their lyrics, though the duo maintains this reflects genuine emotional complexity.
