YMCK is a Japanese chiptune band known for their infectious 8-bit-inspired sound and colorful retro aesthetic. Formed in Tokyo in 2003, the group consists of Midori Kurihara on vocals, Takeshi Yokemura handling music, lyrics, and arrangement, and Tomoyuki Nakamura providing visual production and programming. Their name comes from the CMYK color model used in color printing, which reflects their vibrant, pixel-perfect style.
YMCK has built a loyal following through their creative blend of old-school video game sounds and jazzy, pop-leaning melodies. Their music pays homage to the 8-bit era while keeping things fresh and fun, earning them a spot as pioneers in the modern chiptune scene. They’ve released a number of imaginative albums, often built around unique themes, and have performed internationally, bringing their retro-futuristic vibe to fans around the world.
