TOGENASHI TOGEARI

TOGENASHI TOGEARI is the fictional band at the center of the anime Girls Band Cry, made real as a five-piece whose members also voice the characters: Rina on vocals, Yuuri on guitar, Mirei on drums, Natsu on keys and Shuri on bass. Their sound is heavy, angular J-rock with post-hardcore and math-pop edges, closer to a band than the typical anime tie-in project. Because the players are the same people who voice the characters on screen, the live show works as both a rock gig and an extension of the series.
