Nerd Magnet

**Nerd Magnet** is an Osaka-based band formed in 2006, blending early 2000s-inspired pop-punk, power pop, and alternative rock with emo storytelling and bilingual lyrics. The current lineup includes vocalist/guitarist Suda Ryōta, guitarist/backing vocalist Fujii Ryōsuke, bassist/backing vocalist Saeko (who replaced original member Maekawa Tomoko in 2021), and drummer Hidemura Takuya. Signed to THISTIME Records, they've released albums, EPs, and singles like *Can't Remember* (their first full English track) and *爆発しそう*, with recent work showcasing their energetic, hook-driven sound influenced by bands like Weezer and Motion City Soundtrack. Known for high-energy live shows at venues like Umeda Club Quattro and festivals like Fuji Rock, they maintain a DIY spirit while growing their niche as a "nerd pop" act with international potential.
