■Backdrop Cinderella
Formed in 2006 in Ikebukuro, Tokyo. An immovable four-person formation. In 2011, the members launched Natural Afro Record by themselves, and since then, they have been completely DIY and completely self-produced. He boldly incorporates folk music from all over the world, and his musical style, which seems to awaken human instincts, is what he calls “Unza Unza”.He says, “The people who dance are the best,” and perform nearly 100 Unza Unza dances throughout Japan every year. All performances will be sold out on the tour in early 2024, including a festival in the United States in March. We can’t take our eyes off their momentum as they finally expand their activities worldwide.
■PIGGS
“Idols with all their heart and soul” PIGGS consists of Poo Louis, BAN-BAN, SHELLME, KINCHAN, BIBI, and SU-RING. They live together in a pigs house.
Started on April 19, 2020. Former BiS member Poo Rui has started a company and serves as president, producer, and member, aiming to become a top idol with the members he selected through auditions. He is growing strong and challenging everything to make his dreams come true, such as walking more than 1,000 km and visiting live houses on the “WALK or PORK TOUR”, shooting a music video where he sang and danced non-stop 109 times, running a 100 km marathon, and eating super spicy food quickly. .
■NARLOW
A 6-member girl artist group made up of former idols such as BiS, LADYBABY, and NMB48. Advocating “Rokinon-kei,” he made his stage debut at Zepp Yokohama on June 3, 2023, with songs centered on lyrical lyrics, mixture rock, and emotional guitar and piano sounds.
The talented members have been building a fan base (commonly known as “reincarnated people”) through enthusiastic live performances since their debut, armed with dirty but passionate songs and highly skilled performances.
