Real (band)
Japanese rock band
Real (stylized as ЯeaL) is a Japanese all-female rock band formed in Osaka Prefecture in 2012. The original lineup of Ryoko, Yurika, Fumiha, and Aika was solidified when they were in junior high school. The band made their major label debut in 2016 with the release of the single "Byōsoku Emotion" (秒速エモーション) on SME Records. Their song "Kagerō" (カゲロウ) was used as an opening theme of the anime television series Gin Tama. Guitarist Yurika left the band following the tour for their first album 19 in 2017. The group's music has also been featured in Pokémon The Series: Sun & Moon and Boruto: Naruto Next Generations. Real became an independent band again in 2021, and Yuri officially joined as guitarist the following year.
History
Members Ryoko and Yurika met while in junior high school. Yurika had originally considered pursuing a career as a voice actor, but instead decided to take up music. Ryoko joined a school music contest alone and placed as a finalist, and decided to team up with Yurika to increase their chances of winning, although they would ultimately end up losing.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Real (band)” as japanese rock band. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as japanese rock band. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 4, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q24866459. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2012, 2016, 2017 and 2021.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
