Career


In 2013, Mrs.Vinci was formed, later going by Srv.Vinci.

In 2017, they renamed themselves to King Gnu. They then performed at the Fuji Rock Festival in 2017 and 2018.[4]

In January 2019, the band released Sympa, their first release under a major label after signing to Ariola Japan. The following month, King Gnu released hit song "Hakujitsu", which ranked No.4 in the year-end chart of Billboard Japan Hot 100.[5] In October, they released "Kasa" and achieved their first No.1 on the Billboard Japan Download Chart.[6] Ceremony was a commercial success, peaking atop the Japanese Oricon albums chart, the Billboard Japan albums chart, and was one of the 10 best-selling albums of 2020 worldwide by selling over one million copies.[7]

In December 2021, MAPPA released a few movie trailers promoting the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 (film) movie adaptation, which King Gnu have made 2 new songs for the film. The songs are "Ichizu" (一途, "The Only Way") and "Sakayume" (逆夢, "Contradictory Dream"), which are the opening and ending themes for the Jujutsu Kaisen movie. The two songs were released together as Ichizu/Sakayume. In March 2022, they released a new song called "Chameleon" (カメレオン, Kamereon), which is the theme for Japanese television drama Do Not Say Mystery, adapted from the manga of the same name.
