Japanese rock quartet Kami-sama, I have noticed first surfaced in 2016, but little is known about the group, whose members remain largely anonymous and always wear masks. ∙ The first song they shared with the public, “That’s Why I Was Leaning on Unhappiness,” garnered millions of views online in 2016—months before the group had an official release. ∙ Their debut single, 2017’s “CQCQ,” cracked the Japanese Top 10 and was also the theme song for the TV drama I Love You Just a Little Bit. ∙ Released in 2018, the video for “Merci” used cutting-edge facial-mapping technology to display colorful imagery atop the band’s usually lifeless masks. ∙ 20XX, their first album, was released in 2019 and peaked at No. 9 on the Japanese charts. ∙ Fueled by the success of 2020 anime TV series Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!, the band’s “Namae no Nai Ao”—the show’s closing theme—has become one of their most popular songs.
