Aooo

A rock band comprising four members with proven track records: vocalist Riko Ishino (formerly of Akai Ko-en, now a solo artist); guitarist Threee (known for Vocaloid hits like "Ego-Rock" and "Telecaster B-Boy"—each garnering tens of millions of views—and for causing venue entry restrictions at festivals during his live performances); bassist Hikaru Yamamoto (a next-generation female bassist who has supported acts like YOASOBI and Momoiro Clover Z, and performed on major stages such as Coachella and the Tokyo Dome); and drummer Tsumiki (the creator behind numerous hits including "Phony," "Tokyo Shandy Rendez-vous" [MAISONdes], and "BIBBIDIBA" [Suisei Hoshimachi]).
Tickets for the "Aooo Special Live 2025 'Bazoooka'" solo concert at Tokyo Garden Theater in December 2025 sold out immediately, while the "Aooo Live Tour 'RINGRING'"—which began in May 2026 and included the group's first overseas solo shows in Taipei and Seoul—sold out across all nine venues.
Their second album, "Rooom", was released on Wednesday, June 3, and they will hold a solo concert titled "Budoookan" at the Nippon Budokan on Sunday, November 22.

Both NOMELON NOLEMON and Aooo are music projects I launched myself, yet I have pursued them with completely different approaches. Receiving this offer has given me a sense of excitement—a strange feeling, as if lines that were never meant to cross are suddenly intersecting.
"Circuses" and "Songs" share certain qualities: a physical aspect that pushes the limits of human capability, and a spiritual aspect that stirs the heart through the soul and passion infused within. Drawing on their experiences and observations as members of NOMELON NOLEMON and Aooo, the artists created this track by likening their journey to a "Circus" à la "GROW UP SHOW". We hope you enjoy listening while appreciating the unique sounds and lyrics of each artist, as well as the common threads that connect them.
