Bentham

Artist

A four-piece Japanese rock band whose name nods to British utilitarian philosopher Jeremy Bentham, channeling that intellectual streak into wry lyrics and edgy guitar rock. After making the leap to a major-label debut on Pony Canyon, they wrote the opening theme White for the TV anime Cleanliness Boy! Aoyama-kun—their first-ever TV anime tie-up. The track lays a refreshing burst of band energy over the school comedy about Aoyama, the soccer-club ace cursed with extreme germophobia.
