NELKE (ネルケ)

In German, it means "carnation."

Just as carnation petals gather to bloom strongly as one flower, it signifies the music RIRIKO created alone being powerfully reborn as a band (incarnation).

Renamed to "NELKE" in Spring 2024, taking a new step forward.

Active mainly through live performances, selling out one-man shows at venues such as LIQUIDROOM Ebisu, Zepp Shinjuku (TOKYO), and Zepp Diver City (TOKYO).
