Aooo

A rock band formed by four musicians, each with an established track record in the music industry.

The lineup includes Riko Ishino (Vo), former vocalist of the Japanese band Akai Ko-en, now active as a solo artist; Surii (Gt), a producer known for multiple Vocaloid hits surpassing tens of millions of views such as “Ego Rock” and “Telecaster B-Boy,” whose live performances featuring his own vocals frequently lead to crowd restrictions at festivals; Hikaru Yamamoto (Ba), a new-generation bassist who has supported artists including YOASOBI and Momoiro Clover Z, with extensive experience performing on major stages such as Coachella and Tokyo Dome; and Tsumiki (Dr), the creator behind numerous hit songs including “Phony,” “Tokyo Shandy Rendezvous” (MAISONdes), and “Bibideba” (Hoshimachi Suisei).

The band ranked No.2 on the Nippon TV program “Buzz Rhythm 02” in its annual feature “Artists Who Will Break in 2025.” Their song “Salad Bowl” was also selected No.3 in the TV Asahi program “EIGHT-JAM” segment “My Best 10 Songs of 2024 Chosen by Professionals,” selected by renowned music producer Koichi Tsutaya.

Their solo concert “Aooo Special Live 2025 ‘Bazoooka’”, scheduled for December 2025 at Tokyo Garden Theater, sold out immediately upon ticket release, drawing significant attention as one of the most promising breakout acts.
