Ykiki Beat was a Japanese indie pop band formed in Tokyo in 2012. The group was noted for its blend of jangly guitar melodies, synth‑driven arrangements, and a lyrical style that drew on both contemporary indie rock and 1980s new‑wave influences.
The band released music through independent labels and gained a modest following both within Japan and internationally, receiving coverage in music blogs and niche press that focus on Asian indie scenes. Their discography includes an EP released in the mid‑2010s and a full‑length album issued later in the decade.
Ykiki Beat announced an indefinite hiatus in the late 2010s, after which the members pursued separate musical projects.
