BLUE ENCOUNT

BLUE ENCOUNT is a Japanese rock band known for their energetic sound and emotive lyrics. Formed in 2004 in Kumamoto, the band consists of Shunichi Tanabe (vocals and guitar), Yuichi Sugihara (guitar), Yuta Tsujimura (bass), and Yoshihide Takamura (drums). BLUE ENCOUNT first gained significant attention when they moved to Tokyo in 2010, working tirelessly to perform live and build their fanbase.

Their big break came in 2014 when they signed with major record label, Ki/oon Music, and released their major debut single "Motto Hikari" in 2015. Since then, they've enjoyed a steady climb in the industry with a series of hits, showcasing their capability to create both high-octane rock anthems and stirring ballads. Their recent releases such as "アマリリス" (Amaryllis), "有罪布告" (Conviction), and the “Slushii Remix” of their hit song "ポラリス" (Polaris), from the SACRA BEATS Singles, display the band's versatility and growth as artists. Known for their meaningful contributions to anime soundtracks, BLUE ENCOUNT has resonated with a broad audience both in Japan and internationally, capturing hearts with their sincere music and passionate performances.
