Artist

A singing unit of voice actresses Ryo Hirohashi, Megumi Toyoguchi, Sachiko Kojima, Houko Kuwashima, and Rina Sato. In the TV anime 'Bamboo Blade', based on a manga set in a kendo club, they played Tamaki Kawazoe, Kirino Chiba, Sayako Kuwabara, Miyako Miyazaki, and Satori Azuma respectively, performing the opening theme 'BAMBOO BEAT' and the ending theme 'STAR RISE' under their character names. Both songs feature lyrics by Eri Kawai and composition and arrangement by Koma2 Kaz. They colored the work as a modern pop piece incorporating a Japanese flavor, and the chorus of 'STAR RISE' became a talking point online as a misheard-lyrics meme, later turned into official merchandise, making it an emblematic song of the work.
