If you’re looking for a band where clashing personalities spark captivating chemistry, definitely give Aooo a listen.
Its members are an all-star lineup: Riko Ishino, formerly of Akai Koen; vocaloid producer Surii; bassist Hikaru Yamamoto; and Tsumiki from NOMELON NOLEMON.
They started in 2023, and while rooted in rock, their unpredictable sound blends each member’s background to great effect.

FAITH is a co-ed pop-rock band formed in 2015 in Ina City, Nagano Prefecture.
They made their major-label debut with the album “Capture it,” released in January 2020.
Three of the members are Japanese-American, and they draw on that background to write English lyrics.
Even the vibe they give off is stylish! They brand themselves as a “Gang of Pop,” and their music blends the chic feel of Western music like French pop with catchy melodies that are a joy to listen to.
They showcase both rock and pop sides, and are especially recommended if you like ELLEGARDEN or moumoon.
I’m sure they’ll bring great energy to the Japanese music scene from here on out!
