Ling tosite sigure, often stylized as Ling Tosite Sigure or 凛として時雨, is an enigmatic and dynamic Japanese rock trio that has been captivating audiences with its distinctive blend of piercing vocals, intricate guitar work, and rapid-fire drumming since the group's formation in 2002. Founded in Saitama, the band is composed of TK (Toru Kitajima) on guitar and vocals, Miyoko Nakamura on bass and vocals, and Pierre Nakano on drums. The band's name, which loosely translates to "a cold seasonal rain," reflects the intense emotion and atmospheric tension present in their music.

With a sound that often defies genre conventions, Ling tosite sigure merges elements of post-hardcore, progressive rock, and indie pop to create a unique sonic landscape known for its technical prowess and emotive delivery. The band gained significant attention with the release of their signature hit "abnormalize," which served as the opening theme for the anime Psycho-Pass. Their steadily impressive discography features several critically acclaimed albums and singles, such as "Enigmatic Feeling" and "Who What Who What," that continue to resonate with a growing international fanbase. Ling tosite sigure's most recent releases, including tracks like "狐独の才望" and "Perfake Perfect," showcase their commitment to evolving their sound while maintaining the passionate energy that has become their hallmark.
