FIVE NEW OLD is a vibrant and cutting-edge band hailing from Kobe, Japan, whose style is an eclectic mix of pop, rock, and funk with a distinct flair that has captured the hearts of fans both domestically and internationally. Formed in 2010, the band has steadily risen to prominence in the Japanese music scene, renowned for their dynamic live performances and a sound that is simultaneously modern and nostalgic. The group consists of five talented members—vocalist Hiroshi Nakahara, guitarist Takahiro Ezaki, bassist Shuntaro Tsunoda, drummer Shin Nagahama, and keyboardist Koji Sugimori—each bringing their unique creative energies to the ensemble.

FIVE NEW OLD's discography reveals a consistent evolution of their sonic identity, marked by a willingness to experiment, yet always anchored by catchy hooks and compelling melodies. The lush soundscapes of "Kiss Me, Winter" and the introspective lyrical journey in "Departure: My New Me" showcase their range in themes and emotions, further solidified by the carefree vibes of "Perfect Vacation" and the reflective poignancy of "Happy Sad." Their energetic single "I Wanna Be Your Lover" demonstrates their proficiency in crafting upbeat, dance-inducing tracks, while "Rhythm of Your Heart" pulses with the intimate connection they foster with listeners. The "Summertime EP," "MUSIC WARDROBE," and anthemic offerings like "Breathin'" and "Hallelujah" illustrate their ability to evolve while staying true to the soulful core that has defined FIVE NEW OLD's journey through the Japanese music landscape and beyond.
