Immerse yourself in the world of ぜんぶ君のせいだ (Zenbu Kimi no Sei da); one of Japan's most uncompromising alternative idol acts that have been bringing a breath of fresh air to the scene since their founding in 2015. Blurring the boundaries between idol culture, pop and metal with its sick-sweet ("yami-kawaii") aesthetic.
Since their beginnings, Zenbu have Kimi no Sei there. with powerful live performances and a clear vision: feelings such as despair and fear are channeled and carried to the outside, in contrast to the typical sweet idol aesthetic.
Formed in Tokyo, the group carve out a sound that blends black metal, hardcore, shoegaze, and noise with emotionally raw vocals and stark, confrontational visuals. Their live shows are intense, cathartic experiences-equal parts ritual and riot-earning them a devoted following among both alternative idol fans and metalheads.
Unapologetically dark and fiercely expressive, ぜんぶきみのせいだ reject polished pop in favour of chaos, atmosphere, and feeling. For fans of extreme music, outsider art, and idols that push every boundary, this is a band that hits hard and leaves a mark:
