FREDERIC is a four-member pop rock band formed by the Mihara twins back in 2007. Flaunting their theme of highly addictive composition and melodies, FREDERIC hopes to be that next hot topic in the music industry that listeners won’t forget. The band breaks the mold on several occasions by having whimsical and repeating rhythms skillfully composed by vocalist and guitarist Kenji. A typical composition of theirs, at first glance, might come off as from just the same old pop rock band fans of the genre are used to hearing; however, it makes their song not something that can be looked at with such a straight-forward approach. Their music videos also take the same approach, as they are both creatively and dynamically shot that they could attract even the strongest of haters of the genre.

FREDERIC’s tracks “odd loop” and “Sukiraism” are perfect examples of the whimsical factor the band exudes. Whether it be Kenji’s higher vocal range or the mesh that drummer Takeru Takahashi and guitarist Ryuji Akagashira have with Kenji and brother bassist Koji, they make it impossible to at least admire the high pace composition they weave together. Their latest track “VISION”, while not as mesmerizingly rhythmic as earlier songs in their discography, still has that allure of said earlier tracks. Even if they decide to make a more dramatic change, they will still reveal the soul that made them great.

FREDERIC had several singles under their belt before they made their major label debut with A-Sketch in 2014: “Only Wonder” (2016) and “かなしいうれしい” (“Kanashi Ureshi”) (2017). The same could be said about their mini-albums, with two released during their indie days and four with A-Sketch from 2014 to 2017. The band also dropped two albums simply titled FREDERHYTHM and FREDERHYTHM 2 in 2016 and 2019 respectively.

Check out their music video for “VISION” along with the aforementioned single. Also visit FREDERIC’s official website and Twitter!
