Myth & Roid

Myth & Roid (stylized in all caps) is a Japanese pop rock band centered around Tom-H@ck (guitar, composer, production) and hotaru (lyrics, story planning), featuring multiple vocalists. The band made its debut in 2015 with the release of its first single "L.L.L". The band's music has been featured in various anime series, mostly of the isekai genre such as Re:Zero, Isekai Quartet, Boogiepop and Others, BBK/BRNK, Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious, Made in Abyss, Isekai Cheat Magician, Overlord, and Arknights: Perish in Frost.

According to the band's official website, its name comes from two words: "myth" representing the past, and "android" representing the future; the band hopes that these two aspects will allow the creation of "a new world".

The band debuted with Mayu Maeshima on vocals in 2015, with the release of its first single "L.L.L" (Leashed Luminous Love); the ending theme to the 2015 anime television series Overlord. The single peaked at No. 29 on the Oricon weekly charts, and reached a ranking of No. 3 on iTunes' Japanese download rankings.

The band's second single "Anger/Anger" was released on February 24, 2016; the title track is used as the ending theme to the 2016 anime television series BBK/BRNK. The single peaked at No. 82 on the Oricon weekly charts. The band's third single "Styx Helix" was released on May 25, 2016; the title song is used as the first ending theme to the 2016 anime television series Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World, and the coupling song "Straight Bet" is used as the ending theme for episode 7. The band's fourth single "Paradisus-Paradoxum" was released on August 24, 2016; the title track is used as the second opening theme to Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World-, and the coupling song "theater D" is used as the ending theme for episode 14. The unit's fifth single "Jingo Jungle" was released on February 8, 2017; the single's title track is used as the opening theme to the 2017 anime television series The Saga of Tanya the Evil. The band also performed theme songs for two Overlord theatrical movies released in 2017.

In 2017, Kihow joined the band after being discovered by Tom-H@ck. Having lived overseas in the past, she is capable of singing in both English and Japanese. Able to freely transform her singing style, her voice is known as the "rainbow-colored voice".

On April 24, 2017, the band's first album eYe's was released.

In November 2017, it was announced that vocalist Mayu Maeshima would be "graduating" from the band in order to pursue a solo career.

On December 18, 2017, the band's sixth single "Hydra" was announced, and Kihow's face was revealed as part of the cover for the album
