Tokyo-based alternative band Rourourourous will release their new single “amu” exclusively via digital platforms on August 13, 2025. As the first installment in a trilogy of upcoming releases, “amu” stands as a symbolic marker of the band’s current chapter—showcasing a dense, yet refined alternative band sound where each member’s unique sensibilities weave seamlessly together.

Following their previous work, the recording and mixing were once again handled by renowned engineer Kosuke Nakamura, while the artwork was created by photographer comuramai. Their expert craftsmanship adds a striking depth and vibrancy to the song’s overall aesthetic.

Since last year, Rourourourous has been actively expanding their reach and creative vision. With each member engaged in their own individual projects, the band continues to evolve as a collective of distinctive voices. Their ongoing development makes them a group to watch in the Japanese indie scene and beyond.
