Kessoku band

Kessoku Band is a fictional band featured in the Japanese four-panel manga series Bocchi the Rock! written by Aki Hamaji. Adapted for screen in October 2022, the anime series brought the group to life, featuring Yoshino Aoyama as Hitori Gotō/Bocchi (lead guitarist), Sayumi Suzushiro as Nijika Ijichi (drums), Saku Mizuno as Ryō Yamada (bass) and Ikumi Hasegawa as Ikuyo Kita (vocals). The band’s first single and opening theme, “Seishun Complex” written by Japanese singer/songwriters Otoha and Ai Higuchi was released on October 12, 2022 followed by ending theme “Distortion” by Maguro Taniguchi (from J-Rock group KANA-BOON). Three promotional teaser videos were released prior to the band’s recording debut, including “Guitar, Loneliness and the Blue Planet” written by hitmaker ZAQ, with the self-titled album released on December 28, 2022.
