Alternative Pop-Rock band Sankagetsu (サンカゲツ) made their official live debut in Japan on February 28, 2026, at the iconic Shimokitazawa Basement Bar — marking the first concert appearance for the new project led by singer-songwriter Michelle.
Michelle, known within the Band-Maid fan community, now steps forward under a new creative banner with Sankagetsu, joined by Yuka Fukaya (drums) and Rie (bass). With their first concert now completed, Sankagetsu step into Japan’s competitive alternative circuit with a minimalist yet focused identity. For observers tracking new Japanese rock formations and artist reinventions, this debut at Basement Bar marks the beginning of a potentially compelling trajectory.
