アンと私 (Ann to watashi; Ann and me) is a Japanese indie/alternative rock band formed in 2020. Members: Vocals & Guitar: 二口 (Niguchi) Guitar: 吉村ハルキ (Yoshimura Haruki) Bass: ヤマモトマキ (Yamamoto Maki) Drums: れんじゅまん (Renjuman) Biography: The band name was the one Futakuchi used when appearing at fashion-related events, and he adopted it as it is because fashion and music are the same form of expression for him. Formed in 2021, the band began as Niguchi’s solo project, later expanding into its current lineup with the official addition of support members. Initially operating under a solo format, the project steadily evolved as more collaborators joined, shaping the sound and structure that define the band today. They released their first EP, SWEET LILY / SAD FOREVER – EP, in 2021, marking an early statement of their musical direction. Wider attention followed in 2023, when the digital single “Tinder” went viral on TikTok and climbed to No. 8 on Spotify’s Viral Chart. That same year, the band completed its first solo tour across Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka, culminating in a sold-out November show at Shindaita FEVER in Tokyo. Momentum continued into 2024 with the release of their first full-length album, FALL DOWN 2, in January. They embarked on a nationwide tour featuring nine shows, including a solo performance at Shibuya WWW, and every date sold out. On May 15, 2024, they released the digital single “Boyfriend Rockstar,” accompanied by a campaign that distributed original CD case–shaped condoms with the message “so you don’t have to get sick anymore,” as well as a lottery for a guitar used for “Boyfriend Rockstar” signed by the members. On July 17, 2024, they released another digital single, “Soapland,” with AV actress Honoka Furukawa appearing in the music video. This release was paired with a promotional campaign offering lottery prizes such as pocket tissues like those handed out in front of shops, original bath towels, and unused gold bath chairs autographed by the members. In September 2024, they released the mini-album SWEET LILY / SAD FOREVER 2 and launched their largest tour to date, spanning 11 shows nationwide. The tour concluded with a final performance at CLUB QUATTRO in Shibuya, Tokyo. On February 6, 2026, the band released their fourth EP, NARCISM, and announced their move to a major label, marking a new phase in their career. https://ann-and-me.fanpla.jp/ https://x.com/ann_and_me https://www.instagram.com/ann_and_me_official/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpiI_u1rEYfymXOWr_AGxmA
