ikimono-kari (wild boar meat popular in Japan during the mid-Edo period)

On February 1st, 1999, elementary, junior high and high school students Yoshiki Mizuno and Hirotaka Matsushita formed "Ikimono-gakari". The name "Ikimono-gakari" comes from the fact that they were both first-year elementary school students who worked together as "students in charge of feeding animals".
They started their street live activities in their hometowns of Atsuma and Umi𯒤ana and along the Hankyu Line, and on November 3, 1999, their classmate Yoshioka-kun's younger sister, Seie Yoshioka, entered the street live performance of "Ikimono-gakari" and the group of three became a trio.
Since her major debut on March 15, 2006 with "SAKURA", she has released many hit songs such as "Arigatou", "YELL", "Bluebird", and "Kaze ga Blowin'".
In the summer of 2021, the two-person group began their activities, and on May 3, 2023, they released their first song "STAR," their first song as a two-person group. On the same day, they held a free live concert at Bina Walk in Ebina, their hometown, which attracted over 8,000 people and attracted a great deal of attention.
On September 13, she released her 34th single, "Ureshite/Tokimeki," about two years after her last one.
Ureshikute" is the theme song for "Pretty Cure All Stars F the Movie," which opens in theaters on September 15 (Friday), and "Tokimeki" is the 20th anniversary song for Pretty Cure and the opening theme for the TV anime "Kibou no Chikara - Otona Pretty Cure '23," which will air from October 7. The song is also used as the opening theme song for the TV anime "Kibou no Chikara ~Otona Pretty Cure '23~" that will air on October 7.
On December 13 (Wed.), they will release their 10th original full-length album "○" (read: Maru), the first album with two members.
