nano.RIPE is a Japanese pop rock duo that has made a name for themselves in the anime and music industry with their distinctive sound and lyrical style. Formed in 2008, the group consists of Kimiko (vocals, guitar) and Jun Sasaki (guitar, composition), and they have since been actively involved in creating music that resonates with a wide audience, often touching on themes of youth, growth, and introspection. They are perhaps best recognized for their contributions to anime soundtracks, which have helped them to garner a loyal fanbase both domestically and internationally.

The duo's music is characterized by Kimiko's unique vocal timbre and Sasaki's melodic guitar lines, blending to craft songs that are both emotive and vibrant. They reached their 10th anniversary in the music industry with the release of "月に棲む星のうた 〜nano.RIPE 10th Anniversary Best〜," a retrospective compilation celebrating their career highlights. Their recent releases, such as "Special Acoustic Live ほしふるうでわⅡ," "花灯り," and "光のない街," continue to showcase their evolution as artists, venturing into new soundscapes while retaining the heartfelt storytelling that has endeared them to fans. With a discography that includes several charting singles and albums, as well as a series of theme songs for popular anime series like "Non Non Biyori" and "Food Wars!," nano.RIPE has solidified their place in the hearts of listeners and the annals of modern Japanese pop rock music.
