T he miracle of "information overload," "danger not to mix," and "omni-directional response" created by the super band, Chishibu Shonen Band.

Chishibu Shonen Band is a group of nine special members. It is difficult to describe in a few words the community of destiny that this special group of nine members has assembled. The key words are "information overload," "don't mix, don't risk," and "omni-directional. The keywords are "information overload," "don't mix, don't mix," and "all-rounders." In 2020, an unprecedented supergroup will be born, combining the "Internet," "rock," and "idol" genres into a triangle that will represent Japanese pop culture.

In the 70's, PYG was formed with twin vocals by Kenji Sawada of the Tigers and Kenichi Hagiwara of the Tempters, and even included members of the Spiders. In the 00's, Tokyo Incidents, formed by Ringo Shiina and his mentor Seiji Kameda with up-and-coming members, and other supergroups have continued to carve their names into history as premium entities. However, in today's music scene, the information system in the community has become fragmented as a result of the evolution of infrastructure such as social networking services, video, and streaming due to the development of the Internet. As a result, the shared experience of hits has become fragmented, making it difficult to create supergroups that transcend barriers. However, in Tokyo in 2020, nine talented people who share the same roots have gathered under the name of the Jishibei Shonen Band. What would we call this without calling it a miracle?

The TV anime "Hanako-kun, Jishibu Shonen" started in January 2020. The Jibaku Shonen Band was formed for the opening theme. The original work is based on a comic series that has sold over 2 million copies and is serialized in the monthly "G Fantasy" magazine. The theme song "No.7" is linked to the theme of the anime, "Seven Wonders of the School," and is an uplifting, hard melodic tune with two main vocalists and three chorus members, which develops in a complex and bizarre way like a dialogue. The lyrics are written by the genius ANCHOR, who started his career as a writer in his teens and is known for providing songs and producing music for anime, games, and artists. The challenging twin vocals are provided by Takashi Ikuta of PENGUIN RESEARCH and Oishi Masayoshi, who is active as an anime song singer. The chorus will be performed by Karen Aizome, Kanano Shiver, and Katei Kashii from the up-and-coming idol unit ZOC, another not-to-be-missed feature.

Also of note is the sound production by Pierre Nakano (Dr., Rin to Shigure), ANCHOR (Compose, Lyric, Arrange), Nob (Ba., MY FIRST STORY), and Yoshimitsu Taki (Gt., 9mm Parabellum Bullet). (Gt. / 9mm Parabellum Bullet). Yes, the well-known creator unit ZiNG is the mediator, weaving together "net-kei," "rock," and "idol" styles. The "Net-kei", "Rock-kei", and "Idol-kei" were spun by the well-known creator unit ZiNG. The result is a superb upper-range loud rock tune from Japan that we want to send out to the world. We hope you will experience in real time this rare miracle of the times.
