PINK SAPPHIRE rose to popularity and made their debut after appearing on the talent-scouting audition show “Ikasu Dance Tengoku.” While their performances carry a heavy hard/metal edge, the vocals are clear and make the songs easy to listen to.

They have idol-level looks and style, and on top of that, real talent.

Drop’s “Kowashite” opens with an intro whose sound evokes ’80s rock and blows listeners away.
It doesn’t feel dated, likely thanks to the band’s cute looks and solid musicianship.

After their major-label debut in 2006, they began performing live not only across Japan but around the world.
I think an all-female ska band is quite rare.
This track features a stylish sound with strong AOR elements and an upbeat groove.
