リュベンス / rubens

Formed in Tokyo in 2022, the band solidified its current lineup in April 2023, featuring Serena (Vo/Gt), Etsu (Gt), Mary (Ba), and Matsumaru (Dr).
They shot to prominence with their 2024 single "Tenshi-san", whose music video has surpassed 1.6 million views on YouTube. Over 70% of their Spotify and YouTube audience comes from global markets—particularly North America and South Korea—drawing a diverse array of multilingual comments across their social media.
In October 2025, they released their debut full-length album, MELT. The record distills their singular identity, seamlessly blending the aesthetic, gothic-tinged soundscapes they've carried since their inception with sharply melodic pop. It also features eclectic ventures into City Pop, Kayokyoku (retro Japanese pop), and New Wave, each reimagined through their own distinct lens.
On July 15, they release "Yume wo Amu" (Threads of a Dream), their first new single in roughly nine months since MELT.
