A rising five-piece girls’ band formed in May 2024.

With the concept “singing a place where you belong, like flipping through memories,” they are active mainly at live houses in Osaka and Tokyo.

Through songs filled with down-to-earth emotions—such as Aiso o Tsukashita, themed around heartbreak, and Tanoshii Yoru ni Shite, which portrays friendship—they are steadily expanding their fan base.

Leveraging the strength that all members are either graduates of or currently attending music school and can write lyrics and compose, they tackle a wide range of genres from pop to alternative.

Their lineup featuring keyboards also broadens their expressive range.

This band is recommended for listeners seeking songs that resonate with everyday experiences and the movements of the heart.

Balmy is a four-piece girls’ band born out of a music vocational school in Osaka, garnering attention for their youthful average age of 19.5.

Their appeal lies in a “retrofuturistic” sound that blends 1980s synth-pop and city pop with modern arrangements.

In January 2025, they made their major debut with their first single, “Shooting Star.” With Manamin’s translucent vocals and the band’s solid musicianship, they create a unique world that feels both nostalgic and fresh.

Their songs, themed around youth and dreams, particularly resonate with younger listeners, and they’re highly recommended for fans of retro-inspired music or anyone looking for a new girls’ band.
