fripSide is a Japanese music duo known for their energetic and melodic electronic music, primarily within the realm of anime theme songs and related genres. The group was originally formed in 2002 by composer and producer Satoshi Yaginuma (sat) and singer Nao. However, since 2009, sat has been joined by vocalist Yoshino Nanjo, whom together have propelled fripSide to greater heights of popularity within both anime fandoms and the broader Japanese music scene.

The duo is renowned for their signature style that blends high-tempo beats with emotive lyrics, often embracing themes of hope, resilience, and futuristic imaginings. Since their reformation, fripSide's discography has grown extensively, garnering a legion of dedicated fans through releases like "only my railgun", which gained widespread acclaim as the opening theme for the anime "A Certain Scientific Railgun". Their more recent work continues to showcase their evolution as artists with albums like "infinite synthesis 6" and singles such as "Red Liberation" and "dual existence", which further solidify their status as stalwarts in the anime music genre. With a knack for creating infectious hooks and a consistent track record, fripSide stands as a prominent and influential force in the realm of Japanese pop and electronic music.
