Additionally, it was announced earlier this week that the trio are also scheduled for a performance in Jakarta, Indonesia this August as part of the returning LaLaLa Festival.
Formed in 2011, the three-member group are currently made of vocalist Shiotsuka Moeka, drummer Fukuda Hiroa and bassist Kasai Yurika, who joined the band in 2017. Hitsujibungaku released their debut album ‘Dear Youths.’ in 2018, which included the singles ‘Drama’ and ‘Tenkeyohou’.
Their last album was 2023’s ’12 Hugs (Like Butterflies)’. Though the band have been successful locally, 2023 marked the band’s explosion regionally after their song ‘more than words’ was included in the hit anime series Jujutsu Kaisen.
The trio also recently performed in Hong Kong at the country’s Clockenflap Festival in early December 2023. Relive NME‘s coverage of the three-day festival here.
