CURIO is a Japanese group formed in 1995 that works in pop rock and ska punk. Credited members include AJA and NOB, and the band was associated with Epic Records. Its sound sits at the intersection of melodic rock and ska, combining accessible pop-rock hooks with the offbeat momentum typical of ska punk. For listeners searching for Japanese anime-adjacent or guitar-driven acts from the late 1990s, CURIO is a name tied to that era’s compact, energetic band style. The group’s official website, curio.rolling-ahead.com, also confirms the name and catalog identity.
