In Love with the Mirrorraisan
Reisan is a rising band attracting attention on the music scene.
Formed in December 2021, they’ve captivated many listeners with a unique sound that fuses rock and pop around a hip-hop core.
Their hallmark is CLR’s expressive vocals—interweaving rap and singing—paired with a powerful, full-bodied sound from the skilled members.
Their February 2024 EP, “PEAK TIME,” further broadened their musical range.
The nationwide one-man tour “NICE BUDDY” held in 2025 saw every show sell out on the same day tickets went on sale.
They’ve also been active beyond music, including a collaboration with Kasugai Confectionery’s “Mochira,” earning high praise from the media.
They’re a recommended band for listeners seeking new possibilities in music.
Guitar, Loneliness, and the Blue Planetkessoku bando
Kessoku Band has become popular well beyond the confines of being a fictional band from an anime, drawing the attention of many music fans.
They’re a girls’ band that appears in the 2022 anime adaptation of the hit manga Bocchi the Rock!, made up of four high school girls including the protagonist and guitarist, Hitori Goto.
The live house in Shimokitazawa featured in the show has become a pilgrimage site for anime fans, evoking a phenomenon reminiscent of K-On! over a decade ago.
The secret to their success, much like K-On!, lies in the sheer quality of the songs themselves.
Their debut album, Kessoku Band, released in 2022, topped the Oricon charts.
It includes a cover of ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION’s “Rolling Stone, Morning Comes to You,” and the solid band ensemble provided by seasoned session musicians, along with a set of tracks that recall the lineage of Japanese rock since the 2000s, has captured the hearts of music lovers.
The singing voice of Ikuyo Kita’s voice actor, Ikumi Hasegawa, is wonderful as well.
Don’t let preconceptions about “an in-anime band” hold you back—give their music a listen.
Excuse me, I’ll be leaving first.hanabie
In November 2023, the hugely popular British band Bring Me The Horizon launched a new music festival called NEX_FEST, and among the lineup that drew attention from Western rock fans was Hanabie., a four-woman loud rock band made up of Gen Z members.
Many people may have discovered them through their song “Pardon Me, I Have to Go Now,” which had surpassed 3.6 million views on YouTube as of July 2023.
Their phrases that evoke a hint of traditional Japanese flavor, the versatile vocal performances that deliver aggressive growls alongside catchy melodies, and the mosh-worthy heavy sound all signaled the birth of a new-generation girls’ band.
Although their drummer Sae left the band in April 2023, they welcomed Chika as a new member the following month, and they’ve been racing at the forefront of the scene as Japan’s most talked-about loud rock band.
With chaotic song structures reminiscent of Maximum the Hormone in their prime, pop sensibilities that don’t cling solely to heaviness, an abundance of charm and catchiness, and members with idol-like appeal, they have all the makings of a breakout—definitely one to watch!
Come onBUGY CRAXONE
A four-piece co-ed band formed in Sapporo in 1997.
They made their major-label debut in 1999 with “Pistol and Angel.” In 2003, they launched ZubRockA RECORDS, serving as both their label and management.
Four years later, they joined Northern Blossom Records, a label run by Nachizumi Mashiko of Dohatsuten, and have been active under its banner.
With the motto, “In the North, blossoms come late, but they always bloom,” the band continues to perform energetically through tours and events.
Beyond their sound, vocalist Yukiko Suzuki’s distinctive, cool voice will stick with you after just one listen!
LorraineKAREN
Formed by members of the rock bands ART-SCHOOL and downy, the group featured the female singer Achico on vocals.
Their music centered on pop rock and post-rock.
Achico’s clear yet subtly distinctive voice was a major draw.
They developed a refined pop sound but disbanded in 2010.
