Funta |
|---|
Funta is a Japanese pop rock band consisting of two members: UCO (U子 pronounced /yu.ko/) on vocals and Yoshimi (吉見) on guitar and bass. Active since 1997, Funta has not released any full-length albums to date, focusing instead on releasing singles for use as theme songs in anime.
Funta's sound incorporates elements from a wide range of styles including dance, ska, pop punk, and industrial rock, sometimes all in one song, though it is perhaps UCO's intentionally "kawaii" (occasionally munchkin-esque) singing style that is the band's most distinguishing characteristic. Their compositional style tends to make heavy use of electronic elements and programming, affording the duo the sound of a much larger band.
Aside from being the sole performers of their material, Funta also has several compositional and lyrical credits for anime themes performed by other artists, including Mika Kikuchi, Suitei-Shojo, and Mai Nakahara.
