Ryokuoushoku Shakai is a four-member pop-rock band that formed in 2012 who doesn’t let their genre define them. Standing out from the dime a dozen pop-rock bands that formed during this time, their various music styles and pop sounds created by each member has different roots and personalities. This level of uniqueness is taking this next generation by storm.

A major part of that is from vocalist Haruko Nagaya’s powerful vocal range which is tough to match. The perfect mesh of that pop style along with her prowess is shown in the track “Shout Baby” where fellow keyboardist peppe creates this intoxicating melody that the listener can’t help but fall in love with. The synchronicity of the band doesn’t stop that as each member has their time in the sun to blend their skills with Nagoya’s which in turn gives off a different feel than the last. When it’s the more electronic style of “Inori”, the high energy feel of “Sabotage”, the emotionally driven “Omobito”, or the nostalgic feeling that “ 夏を生きる” (“Natsu wo Ikiru”) entices with a dynamic range that Ryokuoushoku Shakai possess is just amazing and is a must listen.

The band currently has one mini-album in 2018, one EP in 2019, two digital singles in 2019, and one in 2020. Finally, they also have one album titled SINGALONG that is available digitally.
