Against the background of the proliferation of idol groups and many so-called powerful British musicians who don't like idol groups to "lower" the standard of British music, this band is composed of four kids with strong urban hip-hop colors, which are composed of the lead singer of "Blurred" and the author of the famous anime character "Miss Tang".

And their production team also includes producer-Dan "Dan" the automator "Nakamura, a famous Japanese hip-hop teacher in San Francisco (who has worked with bands such as PrimalScream, DepecheMode and DeLaSoul). MihoHatori, the Japanese female lead singer of new york indie band CiboMato, DelTheFunkyHomosapien, the American western rapper, IbrahimFerrer, the Cuban jazz singer, and TinaFrantz, the main member of the post-punk pioneer band TalkingHeads.

The music style is mainly hip-hop, alternative pop/rock, alternative rap, and some are mixed with Jamaican reggae, Cuban traditional love songs and even British punk rock.

Although several members are cartoon characters, they all have their own personality characteristics:

The band has not only added new styles to its music style, but also diversified elements. Moreover, its shape is so strange and has its own personality, and even its story is so imaginative and unimaginable. It is very virtual, but it also gives the creator extremely distinctive personality characteristics.

Their appearance not only attracted anime fans, but also became the object of their painting imitation. Even some younger bands are eager to try this form of endorsement with cartoons, and put cartoon shapes representing their own band image on some music forums, which shows that they have certain milestone significance in both the music field and the animation field. As for the development after the fight? In this era when music and animation can communicate and cooperate with each other through the Internet, it remains to be seen whether this form is a flash in the pan or a common phenomenon.

Behind-the-scenes story of virtual band ZT Gorilla

Turn to Chinese musical instruments

It is these two years that the word "virtual" suddenly becomes a very fashionable vocabulary, such as virtual reality, virtual community, virtual life, virtual host and virtual love. Just last year, a "virtual band" named Street Fighter (Street Fighter) also appeared in BLACKPINK, which quickly became popular and became a landscape in European and American music circles.

Accurately speaking, Street Fighter should be regarded as a comic band, and all four members appear as pure American comic images. They will not only perform passionately on MTV, but also express their opinions on TV from time to time. For example, after being nominated, they will publicly announce their withdrawal from the competition for the Mercury Award in the British recording industry. Of course, the success of the street fighter band is largely attributed to their music, which combines elements of rock, reggae (a music style originated in Jamaica), hip-hop, Lo-Fi, etc. Coupled with lazy singing, moderate decadence and some naive pranks, as well as unrestrained, this makes the music of Street Fighter band full of strange charm. "Whenever I hear their music, I will be inexplicably happy and happy from the heart." A friend of the author expressed her love for the music of Street Fighter. High quality music will naturally bring great commercial success. With the spread of MTV, Radio 1 and other music media, not only Street Fighter's album of the same name sold well in Europe and America, but Clint Eastwood was also rated as one of the most influential singles of the year.

So how did such a virtual band come into being? Behind the great success, there is naturally an elite production team. The names of two planning cores should be familiar to everyone, namely Damon Albarn, the lead singer of The blur, and Jamie Hewlett, the cartoonist and author of Tank Girl. I don't think it's necessary to introduce Blur, a band that has created a history in British music. Damon, the soul figure, is one of the greatest musical geniuses in Britain in 10. "Tank Girl" is a popular cartoon in Europe and America, and its popularity can rival Batman and Superman, among which the heroine is the idol of many boys. Damon and Jamie lived in the same apartment building. When their ideas had a wonderful spark, Street Fighter was born.
