absorb - Gakuen promo.jpg

absorb

absorb is a Japanese pop band signed to Nippon Crown. The group was formed in April 2005 and gained attention by releasing music through the video sharing website Nico Nico Douga. In 2008, they made their major debut with the single "Sakura no Ame". The band's name is derived from the idea "Subete wo kyuushuu shiteiku" (すべてを吸収していく; We will absorb all).

On April 21, 2010, absorb released Gakuen, a mini-album about student life. The opening song, "wanna be friend", expresses the feelings of meeting people for the first time at a new school. Other themes on the mini-album include love, bullying, extracurricular activities, and graduation.
