PENGIN

PENGIN is a Japanese music group formed in 2011 and signed to Epic Records Japan, with XICO listed as its member. Known for an energetic sound that blends pop-punk and rock with both Western and Japanese influences, PENGIN has built a profile around upbeat, hook-driven songs that fit anime openings and endings. The group first reached wider attention through anime-related work, including the opening theme "Kimi to no Yakusoku o" for "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!" and the ending theme "Kimi no Uta" for "KonoSuba: Legend of Crimson." Those credits helped establish PENGIN as a recognizable name in anime music. Across its career, the group has also released several albums and singles, performed at anime conventions and events, and developed a dedicated fanbase. By 2023, PENGIN was still active in the music scene, continuing to release music and collaborate with other artists.
