Meet the Artists of Breakthrough 2025.5

Retro Riron - Single: "UNITY"

Retro Riron, a four-member pop band formed in June 2020, originally started with singer-songwriter Ryoon leading the project. The band has rapidly gained fame, performing at major festivals across Japan, often generating restrictions due to high attendance. Their debut single, "UNITY", is set to launch on May 7th and carries a powerful message. The word 'unity' not only suggests a sense of togetherness but also emphasizes a singular focus on their music journey, as Ryoon remarks, "At the time of writing this song, the choice to quit was no longer an option for me." This reflects their strong commitment and determination to succeed in the industry.

Fans should also keep an eye out for their upcoming solo tour set to begin at the end of May, showcasing their evolution as artists. Check out Retro Riron on Recochoku for more details and their music.
