Granrodeo

Granrodeo (stylized as GRANRODEO) is a Japanese rock band formed in 2005. The band consists of vocalist Kishow (real name Taniyama Kisho) and guitarist e-ZUKA (real name Iizuka Masaaki). They are primarily known for performing theme songs for various anime series.

Kishow is a renowned voice actor, while e-ZUKA is a seasoned composer and arranger. This combination of talents allows Granrodeo to create music that is both catchy and technically proficient. Their music often features a blend of hard rock, pop, and electronic elements.

Granrodeo's debut single, "Go Sign," was released in 2006. Since then, they have released numerous singles and albums, many of which have charted in the Oricon charts. They are particularly recognized for their contributions to the anime soundtracks of series such as Kuroko's Basketball, Bungo Stray Dogs, and Code:Breaker.

The band's name, "Granrodeo," is a portmanteau. "Gran" comes from "grand," symbolizing their ambitions, and "Rodeo" represents their wild and energetic performances.

They frequently perform at anime conventions and music festivals, solidifying their position as a prominent force in the anime music scene.
