In April 2003,Wagakki Unit Rin' formed in by 3 members Mana (Yoshinaga Mana), Tomoca (Nagasu Tomoka) and Chie (Arai Chie) graduated from Tokyo University of the Arts. It aims to integrate traditional Japanese instruments such as Koto,17-string koto, shamisen, Biwa and shakuhachi with Rock and Dance Music.They made their major debut in 2004 from avex trax, Japan and in 2005, they was awarded the New Artist of the Year Award at the 19 Gold Disc Awards, and in 2006, they made their CD debut with the album "Inland sea" in the United States. Rin'had disband on February 13th 2009, but they reunificated in March 2019. In March 2019,their first performance was held at a reception party of Art Fair Tokyo as a secret live.September in the same year, they performed titled as"Beyond Time and Space"at Akasaka BLITZ in Japan and resumed their activities in earnest. Their new album after about 10 years is finally released in May 2021. Rin' has three meanings: "Rin to suru(cool and beauty)" in Japanese,"a Ring" and the "Wa" from Wagakki in Japanese. We believe that Rin's music has power to build a further "circle" with many people.
