ASTERISM is a three-piece next generation heavy metal band from Japan. The members are HAL-CA(Gt./Vo), MIYU(Ba.), and MIO (Dr.). In March 2023, they made their major debut with SME Records. ASTERISM aims for further global expansion with a new genre "MASS METAL" which means "a metal that reaches, resonates, and is loved by the masses", based on their meticulously composed music and their unique pop sensibilities. Their activities are global, with performances in the United States, France, Korea, China, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Singapore, India, and other countries, resulting in a large number of local fans. A successful one-man tour was just held in November 2024, starting with a performance in Los Angeles.
A real band closely linked to the original anime Girls Band Cry. The band consists of members selected through an audition organized by agehasprings, and they not only perform as the anime's main cast voice actors but also handle its theme songs and in-show music, while actively engaging in live performances. Following the TV anime Girls Band Cry’s broadcast debut, all the opening/ending theme songs and insert songs by TOGENASHI TOGEARI made it onto Spotify’s Viral Charts. Unusually for a new band, five songs simultaneously charted, creating a major buzz. In September 2025, they are set to hold a solo live performance at the iconic Nippon Budokan. The music is produced by Kenji Tamai.
In 1994, he made his major debut as the three-member rock unit "Stagger." In 1999, he performed the first opening theme song "We Are!" for the TV anime ONE PIECE. Since then, he has contributed to the theme songs of ONE PIECE five times in total, including collaborations, making him the record holder for the most ONE PIECE theme song contributions. In 2002, he joined the anime song supergroup "JAM Project" as a second-generation member. He has actively participated in Budokan concerts and overseas events, and continue to play a central role in the group to this day.
A rock duo comprising “KISHOW” (voice actor Kishou Taniyama) and “e-ZUKA” (guitarist Masaaki Iizuka). KISHOW is responsible for writing almost all the lyrics, while e-ZUKA handles all composition and arrangement. They made their debut in 2005 with the opening theme “Go For It!” for the TV anime IGPX, and have since performed numerous anime theme songs, including for Kuroko's Basketball. In recent years, they have held concerts at various venues, ranging from arena-scale events to live houses across Japan. This year, 2025, marks their 20th anniversary as a duo.
A five-member mixture rock band featuring KOHSHI (Vocals), KEIGO (Vocals), TAKE (Guitar), GOT’S (Bass), and IWASAKI (Drums). They have created numerous theme songs for anime, including the opening theme "GO!!!" for Naruto and the opening theme "COLORS" for Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion. Since 2006, they have actively pursued overseas activities, delivering music that transcends borders as a "live band."
SAKURAZAKA46 debuted in April 2016 as Keyakizaka46 and changed its name in 2020. The group has performed multiple times at the Tokyo Dome and ZOZO Marine Stadium, attracting over 110,000 fans. In November 2024, they became the first Japanese idol group to perform on the main Harbourflap Stage at Hong Kong‘s largest music festival, Clockenflap Music & Arts Festival 2024.
