Hitsujibungaku, a name that echoes with the whimsical charm of Japanese indie rock, is a band hailing from Japan whose sound resonates with the delicate balance between poetic melancholy and the raw energy of youth. The band, consisting of three members—Moeka Shiotsuka on vocals and guitar, Natsuki Fujimoto on bass, and Mikako Saito on drums—has carved out a niche in the hearts of their fans through their emotionally charged lyrics and the mesmerizing voice of Shiotsuka. Since their formation in 2016, they have become known for their earnest melodies and compelling storytelling through song.

With a portfolio rich in expressive and evocative tunes, Hitsujibungaku's recent release list showcases their versatility and evolution as artists. From the introspective depth found in "more than words" and its English-language counterpart to the spirited release of "GO!!!", each track serves as a testament to the band's growth and connection with their listeners. They show a capability to rework their music, providing new textures in releases like "マヨイガ (PHIL REWORK)", and they have a penchant for reinterpretation, exemplified by their cover version of "風になれ". The creative journey of Hitsujibungaku is marked by a fearless exploration of themes of love, life, and longing, with songs like "生活", "our hope", and "夜を越えて" solidifying their status as a voice for the introspective wanderer and the hopeful dreamer alike.
