"A band formed by a group of childhood friends who have learned to overcome their differences."

―Profile

Leo/need is an all-female band consisting of childhood friends.

Background

The members of Leo/need were once childhood friends. However, a certain incident occurred during middle school and their relationship became strained.

One day Hoshino Ichika discovers a song named "Untitled" on her phone. Upon playing it, she is transported to Sekai. There she meets Hatsune Miku who welcomes her to Sekai and invites her to sing together.

Sekai

It is accessible via the song "NeedLe".

The Sekai is modelled after a Japanese school, with the main area being a classroom.

Music

The music designated to Leo/need in-game leans toward the J-rock genre, and uses the band's instruments of electric guitar, electric bass, acoustic drums, and synthesizer or piano. The members do not dance in live shows and 3D MVs, instead playing their instruments.

In-universe, the Ichika and Saki collaborate to produce their own music for performing at live shows. Ichika writes lyrics, while Saki composes. Ichika is the lead vocalist of Leo/need, with the other three members providing backing vocals or occasionally being featured as a lead vocal.
