The new song “Toitsuwa wa” by Gohoubi, a four-member mixed-gender band with a tofu mentality, has been chosen as the ending theme for the TV anime series “Is It Really Going to Get Married?” which begins airing on October 3rd.
Gohoubi’s vocalist and keyboardist Susie commented, “This story resonated with me so much because I like being alone. I want everyone living today to see it.” Details such as the release information for “Toiu wa” will be announced at a later date, so please look forward to it.
Gohobi will hold “GOHOBI ONEMAN LIVE “Gohobi Quattro All You Need!” at Shibuya CLUB QUATTRO, the largest capacity venue in the band’s history, on November 15th. Tickets are on sale now, so if you’re interested, be sure to get yours early.
Gohoubi Comment
I try to convince myself that “this is good enough for me”
I was confused and wondered, “Is this really okay?”
Through the story of Takuya and Rika, who repeatedly ask themselves questions and develop their own hearts, I was able to think again about what it means to care about someone, and write the song while thinking about it.
To me who likes being alone
This story resonated so much it was crazy.
I want everyone living today to see this.

Introduction
Takuya and Rika work in the planning department of JTC, a travel agency in the Tokyo metropolitan area. They are both socially awkward and inconspicuous, but they lead fulfilling lives alone. However, when the Alaska branch opens in a year, singles are given priority for being sent overseas. Rika, who is in a difficult position, proposes a certain plan to Takuya… The two, who have barely spoken to each other, end up getting married in just 365 days!?

Formed in 2018. With straightforward lyrics and a wide range of musicality that is not limited to any particular genre, despite being classic J-pop, the comfortable harmony is born from the two completely different singing voices of the soft and tolerant “Cody” and the unique and cute voice of “Suzy”. Not only the music, but also the detailed art direction and music videos are all created by the members themselves. Whether you have had a good day or are feeling down, give yourself a little cheer for all your hard work.
Even before his debut, he provided the song “Omoide” for the 10th anniversary of “Shimajiro no Wow!” produced by Benesse Corporation and TV Setouchi, and “NO RAIN, NO RAINBOW” was chosen as the ending theme for FM NACK5’s professional baseball broadcast program “SUNDAY LIONS”.
He has attracted the attention of people with high sensitivity. In the July 2022 Shibuya store ranking of “Tawakuru,” a joint project between Tower Records and Shimokitazawa Sound Cruising, a popular corner in Tower Records, he won first place for two consecutive weeks, and his first EP “Hajimete no Gohoubi,” which he produced as a self-released album, sold out.
In the live scene, they have steadily gained the support of listeners with their solid musical skills and performances, and their solo live performance at Shibuya WWW held in September 2022 was SOLD OUT.
On January 18, 2023, she made her major debut with the digital single “Suki na Fuku”. Since then, she has appeared in many TV shows, including the opening song “Show Me Your Face Without a Thread of Clothes” for the late-night local drama “Zenra Meshi” on Kansai TV Thursdays,
They continue to release music energetically, including “Love Shuffle,” the ending theme for Fuji TV’s “Weekly Ninety-Nine Music” (February/March 2024).
In April 2024, Gohobi will release their first major EP “GOHOBI QUATTRO -sweet-“, which will serve as their business card. They will also release two anime tie-up songs at the same time: “Blouse”, the opening theme for the TV anime “Giseki Harem” which will begin airing in July, and “MAKUAKE”, the ending theme for the TV anime “Isekai Yururi Kikou ~Kodomo ga Bōken Shimaru~”. On November 15th, they will hold a solo concert at Shibuya CLUB QUATTRO, which will be the largest capacity venue in the band’s history.
