Ryugujo

A 7-member "alternative kayo buyo shudan" (alternative song and dance troupe) born from the Nippon TV "school-based" audition program "0nen 0kumi - Av-chan no Kyoshitsu -" (Class 0 Year 0 - Av-chan's Classroom -). They are a unique boy group attracting attention with their shape-shifting performances that "possess a new self." Debuting in 2023 under Sony Music Labels, they successfully held a solo concert at Nippon Budokan in just two years, and after releasing the ending theme "WALTZ" for the anime "Black Butler: The Tale of Book of Circus," they started the second chapter of their self-produced system. In February '26, they held their largest arena concerts to date, a 2-day performance at TOYOTA ARENA TOKYO.
