reGretGirl、New Digital Single「ラストダンス」本日配信開始！MusicVideoも公開！

Osaka-born rock band reGretGirl has introduced their latest digital single "ラストダンス" (Last Dance), officially released on August 12. The track showcases the band’s signature blend of emotionally charged lyrics and infectious melodies, encapsulating a summer-ready energy that invites listeners to move along to its rhythm.

Distinctly capturing the awkward yet earnest feelings of a man trying to keep pace with his partner’s rhythm, the song’s narrative unfolds through a candid portrayal of a self-centered boyfriend struggling to align with his girlfriend’s tempo. Its juxtaposition of relatable vulnerability with an upbeat, catchy sound marks a continuation of reGretGirl’s ability to balance sentimentality and accessibility.

Complementing the single’s release, the band unveiled the music video at 9 PM the same day. The visuals feature Kanazawa Toa, a model known for her participation in the ABEMA reality show "今日、好きになりました。" and her work as an exclusive model for Popteen magazine. Alongside dancer Hyotaro, the video narrates a day in the life of a boyfriend who oversleeps and scrambles to catch up with his date. The lively and well-paced imagery aligns seamlessly with the song’s tone, enhancing the storytelling experience.

Since their formation in Osaka in 2015, reGretGirl has steadily built a reputation for their sentimental guitar rock, characterized by poignant lyricism and memorable hooks. The band’s name reflects a personal story from founding member Hirabe, who, following a breakup, was motivated to achieve success to prove a point to a former partner.

Their major debut came in 2021 with the release of their first full-length album, "カーテンコール" (Curtain Call), under Nippon Columbia. This milestone marked their transition into the mainstream, setting the stage for further growth.

Celebrating a decade since their inception in 2025, reGretGirl released their third major album "LOVERS," which included the track "エバーソング" (Ever Song). This song notably gained commercial recognition as the theme for a Yanagiya Anzu Oil advertisement. That year also saw the band embark on their largest solo tour to date, titled "reGretGirl presents ONEMAN TOUR 2025 ‘for LOVERS,’" reflecting their rising prominence within the Japanese rock scene.

Currently, the group is engaged in a series of solo concerts at prominent venues such as the Umeda CLUB QUATTRO in Osaka, with performances in key metropolitan areas like Tokyo and Nagoya. These events are part of their ongoing "忘れたくないワンマン 'スリーシティ・スリーピース'" (Unforgettable One-Man ‘Three City Three Piece’) concert series, solidifying their presence in Japan’s live music circuit.

Looking ahead, reGretGirl is set to launch their "ONEMAN TOUR 2026-2027 ‘Fall in LOVE’" starting in September, promising to bring their emotionally resonant rock compositions to a broader audience over an extended tour.

In addition to their touring activities, the band is also contributing to the anime sector by performing the opening theme for the television animation "クラスで2番目に可愛い女の子と友だちになった" (Became Friends with the Second Cutest Girl in Class), slated to begin airing in April 2026. This engagement highlights their expanding influence across various media platforms.

reGretGirl’s music resonates widely due to its ability to articulate universally experienced emotions through straightforward but evocative lyrics paired with dynamic melodies. Their work continues to connect deeply with listeners who find familiarity in the narratives of love, regret, and personal growth.

Fans and new listeners alike can engage with the band’s music and updates through their official social media channels, including Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, where they maintain an active presence. As reGretGirl advances into their second decade, their evolving sound and storytelling promise to sustain their appeal within Japan’s contemporary rock landscape.
