Profile

Overview Formed in Tokyo in 2019, Ringwanderung is a five-member alt-idol group whose name references the mountaineering term for “walking in circles” in fog—signaling a resolve to keep climbing toward the summit. They currently release on Lonesome Record, with albums Synchronism (2021), synchrotron (2022), and aratayo (2024). Music Ringwanderung fuse bright J-pop melodies with piano-led motifs, airy synths, and guitar-driven swells, adding EDM-leaning builds and cathartic drops. The piano lines act as a signature thread—from dreamy mid-tempo numbers to live bangers—tying their cinematic, emotionally surging arrangements together. Overseas activity (recent) In July 2024, Ringwanderung performed at TAIPEI CITY IDOL EXPO at Zepp New Taipei—confirmed by the group’s post and event footage. In October 2025, they returned to Taiwan for the three-day IDOL KINGDOM TAIPEI in Taipei; on-site videos capture them performing “Last Summer Daydream” on Oct 10.
