This is not a dream.Birejjimanzusutoa
They’re a rock band from Nagoya.
A five-piece that epitomizes “manly rock ’n’ roll,” with vocalist Gii Mizuno’s overwhelming singing power backed by a killer instrumental lineup.
Their live shows are just as strong—he’ll keep up the shouts and vibrato for a solid two hours without breaking a sweat.
Every moment and my whole life—it’s all me.Kankaku Pierrot
They’re a rock band formed in Osaka in 2013.
They operate under a label they started themselves and handle everything on their own.
As with the song in the video, they’re also a band that often gets picked for TV drama theme songs.
True to their nickname “Kan-Ero,” they occasionally produce adult-themed tracks.
School Magician GirlHanbureddāzu
We’re a rock band from Osaka.
We formed to perform at our high school’s cultural festival.
All of us felt like we were at the bottom of the school caste, and we sing—pop but a bit twisted—about our frustrations with the people at the top, our unrequited feelings for our crushes, and the emotions we had during classroom seat changes.
You know, right?DENIMS
They’re a rock band from Osaka.
Their charm lies in a mature, jazzy sound.
The songs have a nicely laid-back, stylish vibe.
The crisp, well-defined guitar tones are pleasing to the ear.
It’s a well-balanced band that works both when you want to get pumped up and when you want to relax.

They’re a rock band from Aichi Prefecture.
They won RO69 JACK 14/15, which helped spread their name.
Their appeal lies in a powerful, high-pitched vocal style.
In the song featured in the video, they sing about how, despite changes in their surroundings brought on by their position, they are steadily moving their own story forward themselves.
Suicide Girlamanojac
A three-piece band, amanojac was formed by three classmates from the Nagoya School of Music & Dance.
Their standout appeal lies in a stable, polished sound backed by the exceptional performance skills you’d expect from conservatory-trained musicians.
They’re also notable for their rare twin-vocal setup, with bassist Fumiya Kiriyama and guitarist Shou Ootake alternating as lead vocalists.
Unfortunately, drummer Ranko left the band in May 2023.
Since then, they have continued as a three-piece with the help of support drummers.
To whom it may concern — I tried composing a song using only the test scribbles they had at the stationery store.the peggies
They’re a girls’ rock band formed by classmates from junior high school.
This song is a clever concept piece created using only the words written on test-scribble papers collected from try-out writing corners at stationery stores across the country.
The theme is “Turning everyone in the world into a lyricist.” The vocals are cute, aren’t they?
