The all-female quartet from Kyoto ni-hao! jump from one style to another with reckless abandon – hip-hop, techno-pop, speedcore – sometimes within a second. It’s insane, hyperactive, jarring, and yes, tons of fun, leaving you reeling and questioning what the hell you just heard. It’s pure attitude and punk in its most distilled form. Formed by twin bassists Yukari and Ariko in 2000, the band swiftly made their presence known in the musical community, wielding their own brand of music that they refer to as "cheer punk." Recalling the avant-garde pop stylings of OOIOO (also from the Kansai region) and Deerhoof!, with vibrant aplomb and colorful bombast, they even adopt color-coded stage names (Blue Yukari, Red Ariko, Purple Kaori, and Yellow Miwako) and the attire to go with them. Cheer punk for all!
