Imagine this...they have just now released their first EP, with 2 new songs, "Endless Game" and "Blink." No videos yet, but we shall see, won't we. 😁‼️‼️
No real significance about the outfits outside of they've only been together as NEK! for around 6 months now. They are backed by Pony Canyon, or one of their subsidiaries, so they have some funding but no real need to change outfits yet when there is only the one EP so far. I really don't know of a single Japanese band that doesn't use a stylist or have a member design their stage outfits but most tend to keep them for awhile except for Nemophila.
"Maze" is a Japanese word, so it needs to be pronounced as such in TWO syllables (ma + ze). It has absolutely no relation to the English word "maze". The word appears like 5 times at the very beginning of the song if you want to check how it is pronounced.
nek! (NEKI) continues to increase the number of customers day by day at Japan's small live house, a special place where bands can perform every month, and their first one-man show sold out immediately. This is also a small live house, and although the music is outsourced, I think it will continue to grow.
The bass. It's all about the driving bass. Kanade is their (not so) secret weapon lol. I'm in love with this band instantly after listening to their first song 'Get Over'. Btw, STMLT (Stemirates) just dropped a new song and MV called 'ANTIMENTAL' two days ago. It's their first song/MV with the new formation after they lost their keyboardist and drummer. It's a slow tempo song but it's so heavy. You might want to check them out. Thanks a lot for this reaction!!
Waiting for your video for Bandmaid and The Warning!
Another Japanese band to add to my list of bands from Japan. So many great bands from Japan I've discovered.
I feel like i'm always stumbling across new bands :)
Just ordered the CD from Amazon Japan. Just got T-shirt and CD from Freeze the Fall!

The backing vocal are made by KANADE the bassist, not on the MV. I saw that on her youtube shorts.
Love Nek!
They have a bright future if they keep this up!

Great new band! The base player is really in love with slapping and popping, her sheer joy is delightful!
