Mizuni Ukikusa - シンデレラ(Cinderella)

This one wrapped up my reactions this weekend with a nice bow.
The sound that this band has really makes me feel like I'm entering a renaissance era of my music tastes. It sounds silly since my musical palate is pretty diverse, but this one makes me feel like I moved on from cheap beer to fine wines and cheeses.
There's a level of sophistication about this band and I can really get down with it, but it's still rock! You know what I mean?
Guitar remindes me a Silent Hill 2 soundtrack a lot.

Thanks for checking them❤️
Sorry for my poor english it's not my first language so let me explain some things.
First as you guess it is their latest MV that would lead to a new album soon and not their last.
Then regarding the story of the band: it was formed originally by Megumi (Bass&Vocals) and her brother Takkun (Drums) few months after their previous band named Nu'Shabonne disbanded in 2017. There wasn't any official guitarist until 2021 when Yonepi (Lead) and Nichina (Rythm) officialy joined the band (they both played as "support" for some time before).
I get what you mean about how you felt during it because that's. exactly how I feel about them lol it's like a comfortable place you wish to never leave.
For me they are the most underated band out of Japan( just look at their sub count, I don't because it makes me really angry everytime I do...) and one of my absolute favorite band.
Nichina and Yonepi form one of my favorite guitar duo, not flashy/shreddy but soooooo tasty and on point to fit exactly what the song needs. Takkun (who always plays a small kit but you'll see with my next request...) is one of my favorite drummer he is so creative and as I said on Discord I'm just a Megumi fanboy 🤣 whether it's her bass playing, bass tone, voice, stage presence, etc... I just love everything about her.
Finally you can put anything from them on Youtube safely I put it on the Patreon thread to get you hooked... mission accomplished 😁
Now on my way to Discord to drop my next request for them, this time it will be a live video!

BTW…the singer/bassist and drummer are siblings.
Now that you have waded into the Japanese indie/alternative music scene with Mizuni Ukikusa and Hitsujibungaku…here are a couple bands to dive into:
aoie us fear: “I am, I Was”

Nagisa’s passionate vocal style is on full display on this song.
rubens: “Tenshi-san”

Careful…this song can be a bit of an ear worm.
