"cheers" is muque’s first release of 2025, and is a dance-rock tune with a cool down-tuned, edgy guitar riff.

It’s sure to be a key song in future live performances.

A video showing live footage of the song being performed for the very first time during an encore on muque’s recent solo tour was also released, and can be viewed below.

About muque:
muque are a four-piece band based in Fukuoka, Japan, featuring members Asakura (guitar and vocals), Lenon (bass), takachi (programming and drums) and Kenichi (guitar). They formed in May 2022.

Their music is mainly produced by drummer takachi, who also creates and arranges the tracks, and Asakura, who handles the topline melodies and lyrics.

The group’s appeal comes from takachi’s modern-sounding tracks, influenced by global music from not only the US and UK but also Asian beats, and Asakura’s deep lyrics and melodies that exude a typically Japanese vibe. The music and Asakura’s emotional vocal delivery combine to create a unique world that is all their own.

The band’s name muque is a blend of the French word “musique” and the Japanese word “muku”, which means “purity”. The name reflects the band’s desire to make the music they want to make, regardless of what anyone else thinks.
