{{nihongo|'''Funta'''|ファンタ}} is a [[Japan]]ese [[pop rock]] band consisting of two members: {{nihongo|UCO|U子| <small>pronounced</small> /yu.ko/}} on vocals and {{nihongo|Yoshimi|吉見}} on [[guitar]] and [[bass guitar|bass]]. Active since [[1997 in music|1997]], Funta have not released any full-length [[album]]s to date, focusing instead on releasing [[Single (music)|singles]] for use as theme songs in [[anime]]. |

Funta's more recent credits have been primarily for the lyrics and composition of anime themes performed by other artists, including [[Mika Kikuchi]], Suitei-Shojo, and [[Mai Nakahara]]. Despite the arguably infrequent nature of band activity, the duo are still active; the [http://funta.net/indexfunta.html Official Funta Website] is updated regularly by UCO, who keeps diaries on the site for herself as well as for her three dogs. |

Funta's decidedly upbeat sound, which they describe (with contested accuracy) as [[technopop]], incorporates elements of [[techno]], [[ska]], [[pop punk]], and [[industrial rock]], occasionally blending these styles together at a relatively frenetic pace within a single composition ("Wake up Angel"), and other times simply adhering to standard [[J-Pop]] conventions ("Mienai HAPPY"). With such a limited discography, however, it is perhaps UCO's intentionally [[Cuteness in Japanese culture|cute]], occasionally [[munchkin]]-esque singing style that is the band's most distinguishing characteristic. With upbeat lyrics, babyish vocals, and perhaps even their very existence as a two-member band, the duo exhibits characteristics relatively common of Japanese musical acts commissioned for work in anime and [[videogame]] production, though Funta have not released any material for the latter. |
