Collaboration: Funta3

Funta is a Japanese pop rock band consisting of two members: UCO (U子) on vocals and Yoshimi on guitar and bass. Active since 1997, Funta have not released any full-length albums to date, focusing instead on releasing singles for use as theme songs in anime.

Funta's more recent credits have been primarily for the lyrics and composition of anime themes performed by other artists, including Kikuchi Mika, Suitei-Shojo, and Nakahara Mai. Despite the arguably infrequent nature of band activity, the duo are still active; the Official Funta Website is updated regularly by UCO, who keeps diaries on the site for herself as well as for her three dogs.

Funta's decidedly upbeat sound, which they describe (with contested accuracy) as technopop, incorporates elements of techno, ska, pop punk, and industrial rock, occasionally blending these styles together at a relatively frenetic pace within a single composition ("Wake up Angel"), and other times simply adhering to standard J-Pop conventions ("Mienai HAPPY"). With such a limited discography, however, it is perhaps UCO's intentionally cute, occasionally munchkin-esque singing style that is the band's most distinguishing characteristic. With upbeat lyrics, babyish vocals, and perhaps even their very existence as a two-member band, the duo exhibits characteristics relatively common of Japanese musical acts commissioned for work in anime and videogame production, though Funta have not released any material for the latter.

Funta7 is, just like Funta3 and Funta and Family, an alias of Funta.
