Alexandros (アレキサンドロス, Arekisandorosu), stylized as [Alexandros] is a Japanese rock band, signed to RX-Records and managed by UK Project. On March 28, 2014, the band renamed to [Alexandros] from [Champagne] on request from Bureau du Champagne, Japan.[5]
On November 28, 2014, it was announced that the band would be signed to Universal Music Japan, starting from their single "Wataridori / Dracula la" (ワタリドリ, Dracula la) that was released in 2015.[6] Subsequent album and singles since 2015 have been released by Universal Music Japan.[7]
In 2016, the band performed at the SXSW Music Festival as part of the Japan Nite showcase.[8]
In 2018, their song "Mosquito Bite" was used as the theme for the live-action film adaptation of Bleach.[9] That same year, the band also contributed the theme song ("Arpeggio") and ending theme ("Your Song") to the Sega video game Judgment.[10] A year later in 2019, their song "PRAY" was used as the theme for the Japanese dub of the MonsterVerse film Godzilla: King of the Monsters.[11]
From 2020 to 2021, the band's lead vocalist Yoohei Kawakami was a guest vocalist of two songs by Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra for the Japanese Tokusatsu drama Kamen Rider Saber.
