ribbon is a Japanese J-pop trio formed in 1989. The group consisted of Arimi Matsuno, Hiromi Nagasaku, and Aiko Satō, and its recordings were released through Pony Canyon. Built around a fixed three-member lineup, ribbon belongs to the late-1980s Japanese pop scene, where polished production and compact vocal groups were especially prominent. For listeners searching for classic Japanese pop artists from that era, ribbon is a clear example of the style and format that defined the period.
