【BIO】
BAND-MAID contrasts Japanese pop culture's neo-gothic frills and anime cuteness with powerful and melodic metal. Their music videos boast more than198 million views. Wildly popular in their native Japan, Miku Kobato (guitar, vocals), Saiki (vocals), Kanami (lead guitar), Misa (bass), and Akane (drums)introduced kawaii metal globally in 2013. In contrast with traditional pop idols, the quintet writes their own songs and shreds their instruments with skill. In 2023, they held their 10thanniversary tour in Japan, the U.S., and Mexico, including Lollapalooza, then culminating at one of Japan’s historic and large-scale concert venues, the Yokohama Arena. Subversive, playful, and powerful, BAND-MAID dominates.
