fripSide will be returning to AFA this year after a successful appearance at AFA 2012. This will also be the second time fripSide performs in Singapore.
About fripSide,
Originally formed in 2002 by composer Satoshi Yaginuma, also known as Sat, and singer nao, fripSide is a trance-pop duo who was popular with their work in anime and various games. In March 2009 however, nao graduated from the group, and the search was on to find a replacement. Four months later, in July 2009, Sat announced that seiyuu Yoshino Nanjo would join him in forming the new fripSide we know today. Although she is most well known for her work in Love Live as Eli Ayase, Yoshino has featured in many anime but rarely as one of the main cast members.
What have they done in the past?
To start things off, we have to start from the beginning, with nao still part of fripSide. At this point, fripSide had mostly been selling their music on Japan’s indie community, muzie, and their first major hit was flower of bravery which was the Opening for Kohime Musou. This was the song that got me hooked on fripSide.
After nao left, the group re-debuted with the song Only my Railgun, the opening for the highly successful To aru no kagaku no Railgun (A Certain Scientific Railgun).
After that the group was the main contributor of songs for the Railgun franchise, with songs like Level 5-Judgelight, future gazer and eternal reality.
They have also contributed to a couple of other anime as well, one of which was the Hayate no Gotoku! (Hayate the Combat Butler) movie. With the song, Heaven is a Place on Earth.
More recently, however, fripSide contributed the opening of the anime series, black bullet with a song with the same name.
Away from the anime scene, fripSide have also produced some songs as well. in 2012 in celebration of their 10th Anniversary, nao rejoined the duo for a special song, Decade. Which neatly included some of the group’s past works.
