Profile
About
Rica is a SIDE-B artist who channels the energy of Shibuya — its speed, its youth, its restless forward momentum — into pop rock. She transforms everyday adventures into the kind of energy that pushes listeners to move.
Her songs carry the noise of Shibuya, the rhythm of youth culture, and the emotional drive of someone who turns hesitation into movement.
Rica's sound combines J-pop clarity with J-rock drive. Her vocal identity is bright, confident, and rhythmically sharp, with a strong chorus presence designed to lift the track without losing youthful clarity.
Rica's two-track EP Rock 'n' Rica introduces her sharpened pop-rock identity within NovaChord SIDE-B. With crunchy guitars, punchy rhythms, and a bright vocal presence that cuts through the noise, the release captures her restless Shibuya energy and turns it into forward motion.
Rica's second two-track single Noise expands her sharpened pop-rock identity within NovaChord SIDE-B. Featuring 未完の旗 and Noise, the release captures her ability to turn unfinished emotion, urban pressure, and internal noise into forward-driving J-pop / J-rock energy.

About
Noise is Rica's second two-track single for NovaChord SIDE-B, expanding the sharp pop-rock identity first introduced through Rock 'n' Rica. The release moves from the emotional resolve of 未完の旗 to the urban tension of Noise, showing Rica as a vocalist who turns pressure, uncertainty, and city static into forward motion.
Built on solid guitar textures, punchy rhythms, and a bright but sharpened vocal presence, Noise captures Rica's modern J-pop / J-rock direction with more depth and edge. It is a release about standing unfinished, hearing yourself through the noise, and refusing to disappear into the background.

About
Rock 'n' Rica is a two-track EP that introduces Rica as one of NovaChord SIDE-B's sharpest pop-rock voices. Built on crunchy guitars, punchy rhythm sections, and a bright, confident vocal presence, the release captures the speed, friction, and restless energy of Shibuya.
The title track turns Rica's forward-driving spirit into a bold rock statement, while 透明な反抗 reveals a cooler, more defiant side of her sound. Together, the two songs mark Rica's first step as a modern J-pop / J-rock artist who transforms hesitation, noise, and everyday pressure into momentum.
