CYNTIA / Urban Night (MV Short Version)

CYNTIA is a heavy metal girls’ rock band formed in 2011.

They originally started as a five-piece, but after several changes became a four-member lineup.

The band consists of vocalist SAKI, guitarist YUI, bassist AZU, and keyboardist AYANO, each with memorable taglines reflecting backgrounds such as former idol experience and supporting roles for Nanase Aikawa.

They are respected by heavy metal fans for their authentic musicianship that contrasts with their visual image, and they also have an appealing pop, accessible side that effectively incorporates keyboards.

As of 2022, the band is on hiatus due to a member’s medical treatment, but fans are eagerly awaiting their return.

Kiss me right nowLINDBERG

LINDBERG / Kiss Me Now

LINDBERG is a rock band that debuted in 1989 and sped through the Heisei era.

The vocalist, Maki Watase, actually has experience as a former idol.

While their early releases featured many songs written for them, the lyrics were often by Watase, with compositions frequently handled by guitarist Hirakawa, bassist Kawazoe, and drummer Koyanagi.

In 1997, Watase and Hirakawa, both members of the band, got married.

LINDBERG’s music blends the charm of classic Japanese rock with a breezy freshness that feels like being bathed in wind.

It brings back memories of youth and those innocent, early feelings.

Centered around signature tracks like “Ima Sugu Kiss Me” and “every little thing every precious thing,” which was also cherished as Hanshin Tigers pitcher Kyuji Fujikawa’s entrance song, they have many tunes you’ll find yourself humming along to.

They resumed activities in 2014, and since then they’ve continued to deliver the same undiminished passion.
