M!LK is a Japanese boy band assembled by the EBiDAN branch of Stardust Promotion in 2014. Originally composed of Sano Hayato, Yoshida Jinto, Shiozaki Daichi, Yamazaki Haruki, Itagaki Mizuki, and Miyase Ryubi, they made their debut in 2015 with the single "Coffee Ga Nomemason," which was used as the ending theme for the anime series Pankisu 2D. Following the release of a slew of commercially successful non-album singles such as "Shin Gakki a la Carte" and "Natsuaji Rendezvous" in 2016, their studio debut Ousama no Gyuunyuu saw the light in 2017 and quickly established them as major players in the highly competitive J-pop industry. In 2018, Yamazaki Haruki left the band and was replaced by Yamanaka Jyutaro and Sono Shunta, who appeared on M!LK’s sophomore effort Time Capsule a year later. 2020 found the group busier than ever with the release of the albums Juvenilizm-Seishun Shugi- and HOME MADE CHUI!?, followed by a move to Victor Entertainment in 2021. "Ribbon," their first single for the label, arrived later that year and peaked at number 23 on the Japanese Top 100. The group's follow-up single, 2022's "Kiseki ga Sora ni Koi wo Hibikaseteta," fared even better, becoming their first-ever chart-topper on the Oricon weekly music rankings. Jewel, their fifth album, came out in 2023 and peaked at number 2 on the Oricon charts. It was followed by the 2024 singles "Kiss Plan" and "Blue Shower," which reached number 2 and 3 in Japan, respectively. The second album M!X was released on March 5, 2025. Their 8th single, Bakuretsu Aishiteru / Sukisugite METSU!, was released on February 18, 2026.
