PENGUIN RESEARCH is a Japanese rock band formed in 2015 and signed to Sacra Music. The group includes 堀江晶太, 生田鷹司, 神田ジョン, 柴﨑洋輔, and 新保恵大, and its sound blends J-pop and pop rock with sharp melodies and a polished, high-energy approach.
The band is especially relevant to anime fans because of its theme-song work, which gives PENGUIN RESEARCH strong visibility in searches for anime songs and anime music artists. Rather than relying on simple formulas, the group pairs driving arrangements with clear hooks and emotional lift, making its songs a natural fit for animated storytelling and for listeners looking for modern Japanese rock with an anime connection. That balance of momentum and melody is a key part of why the band stands out within Japan’s contemporary rock scene.
