You will find them easier if you search for "neki band".
They are:

They formed in February of 2024.

"Neki" refers to sister or sis in Japanese. (Not a direct translation, maybe slang.) It's quite fitting, because I call them Band-Maid's little sisters. They just debuted this year and released their first MV single, Get Over, in April after posting multiple shorts from live performances in small clubs around Tokyo. Many of the songs they were playing were covers, including covers of Band-Maid. (They are big fans.) But they have quite a few originals. And they do have a hand in writing their music along with other songwriters.
They just released their first EP a couple days ago, "Exclamat!on" with five original songs, including MAZE (pronounced Mah-Zay, short for "Mazeru" which means Mix Up). They have videos for Get Over and Reigen Girl as well.
Hika (vocals and rhythm guitar)
Natsu (lead guitar)
Kanade (bass)
Cocoro (drums)
This summer they've been getting a bunch of exposure in the Tokyo music scene touring the clubs and they recently just had their first one-man show which sold-out. They just announced their second one-man show at Shibuya Eggman in November, which is huge news. It'll be their biggest show. (Band-Maid lived in that club for years) And if my info is correct, they may have just been signed to Pony Canyon, Band-Maid's label. They've gained a lot of support from the Band-Maid community which is great for them as an early association helps promote them. But they definitely have their own sound.
We are witnessing the beginning of a great rock band. They are so young and have a lot of talent. They are also rising very quickly and destined for a successful career. They haven't done any interviews so we don't have a ton of info yet, it's still the early days. And they don't have a website. Right now everything we know is on "X", IG or RUclips. But they are so busy right now, I'm sure we'll get more about them in the coming months. I look forward to following their career. I'm in for the long haul. Great review, they are a lot of fun.
