Anthurium

Anthurium is a delightfully chaotic Japanese music unit bursting with hyperpop energy and absurdist J-pop charm. Operating in Tokyo's underground scene, this enigmatic collective (often stylized in all caps as ANTHURIUM) gained a cult following for their frenetic mix of glitchy electronic beats, anime-esque vocals, and lyrics celebrating everything from chai tea lattes to circus mayhem. Their 2020 self-titled EP and subsequent releases like "Anthurium Dai Circus" showcase their signature blend of Vocaloid-inspired playfulness and internet-age maximalism, often collaborating with illustrators and digital creators for their vividly weird music videos.

While maintaining an air of mystery about their exact membership, Anthurium's work with labels like Karent and tracks like "Undead Gathering" reveal strong ties to Japan's denpa music underground. Their 2023 album "Mouichido Anthurium!!!!!!" (translating to "Once Again Anthurium!!!!!!") doubled down on their reputation for ecstatic, punctuation-heavy chaos, becoming a favorite in niche anime/manga fan communities and hyperpop Discord servers worldwide. The group continues to thrive as the musical equivalent of a glitter bomb - overwhelming, slightly confusing, and impossible to ignore.
