Funta

Funta is a Japanese pop rock band consisting of two members: UCO (U子 pronounced /yu.ko/) on vocals and Yoshimi (吉見) on guitar and bass. Active since 1997, Funta has not released any full-length albums to date, focusing instead on releasing singles for use as theme songs in anime.

Funta's sound incorporates elements from a wide range of styles including dance, ska, pop punk, and industrial rock, sometimes all in one song. Primarily distinguishable by UCO's intentionally "kawaii" (occasionally munchkin-esque) singing style, the duo makes heavy use of electronic elements and programming, thereby attaining the sound of a much larger band.

Aside from performing their own material, Funta also has several compositional and lyrical credits for anime themes performed by other artists, including Mika Kikuchi, Suitei-Shojo, and Mai Nakahara.
