Frederic is a Japanese rock band known for their invigorating blend of rock and pop with a distinctive funk edge. Formed in Kobe in 2009, the group experienced a steady rise in popularity, particularly after the release of their vibrant track "oddloop" in 2014, which brought them substantial recognition. Frederic consists of the brothers Kenji Mihara (vocals/guitar) and Koji Mihara (bass), alongside Ryuji Akagashira (guitar) and Takeru Takahashi (drums). Their music is characterized by catchy, upbeat rhythms and melodies, layered with a playful use of synthesizers and intricate guitar work.

Their discography is a testament to their growth and experimentation with various musical styles, while retaining their signature sound that fans have come to adore. Some of their most recent releases, including energetic tracks like "Peppermint Gum" and "Sparkle Dancer," showcase their ability to create infectious hooks that resonate with a wide audience. Their live album, "LIVE FREDERHYTHM 3," captured from a show at Yoyogi National Stadium First Gymnasium in 2022, is a celebration of their dynamic live performances and the palpable connection they have with their crowds. With each new release, Frederic continues to solidify their position in the Japanese music scene as a band that consistently delivers a refreshing and enthusiastic sonic experience.
