ルサンチマン (RUSANTI-MAN, from French ressentiment) is a Japanese rock band formed in June 2018. Members: Vocals & Guitar: 北 (Kita) Guitar: クーラーNAKANO (Cooler NAKANO) Bass: 清水 (Shimizu) Drums: もぎ (Mogi) History: The band was established by members who were part of the light music club at Tokyo Metropolitan Musashigaoka High School, where they were encouraged to create original music due to restrictions on cover songs. Their name, Rusanti-man, is a play on the French term ressentiment, reflecting their introspective and emotionally charged style. RUSANTI-MAN first gained attention in 2019 when they won the RO JACK competition for the ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL, earning them a spot at the festival and helping to establish their presence in the national rock scene. The following year, they released their first demo EP, 風穴あける (Fūketsu Ageru), which introduced their early sound. In 2021, the band released their debut mini-album memento, along with singles such as 使えない頭、回して (Tsukaenai Atama, Mawashite) and ギターを弾け 拙いコードで (Guitar wo Hike Tsutanai Chord de), further solidifying their reputation. Building on this momentum, RUSANTI-MAN released the single 忘れそう (Wasuresou) in early 2023, and later that year their first full-length album, ひと声の化石／rebury (Hito Koe no Kaseki / rebury), coinciding with sold-out performances at venues including Shibuya Spotify O-Crest and WWW X. They shared the stage with several bands like enfants, JIGDRESS or fulusu. They announced their second full album, 一生モノの陽射し (Isshō Mono no Hiyashi), for release on November 5, 2025, accompanied by a nationwide tour, highlighting their steady rise in Japan’s alternative rock scene. Musical style and influences: Rusanti-man's music blends raw passion with technical proficiency, characterized by heavy guitar riffs, dynamic rhythms, and introspective lyrics. Their sound resonates with listeners, particularly those in their 20s, due to its authenticity and emotional depth.
