[Especia] I
Especia are an idol trio composed of Haruka Tominaga, Erika Mori and Mia Nascimento. There were 10 members when Especia were formed in 2012, but the number eventually went down. The group moved their activities from Osaka to Tokyo last year. Especia are notable for their throwback sound and are often called "vaporwave idols". Their music is mostly influenced by 80s city pop, funk and disco. discography: Spoiler:

Why did the member number go down over time from ten to three over the past few years?

Is curious to see all the spanish titles like Gusto, Carta, Dulce, Amarga, Primera, and Especia as the group name.

I have not heard of them. They sound very interesting. Especially the vaporwave part. I'll have to check them out.

I used to love them so much! GUSTO and CARTA are masterpieces <3 But I've lost my interest after the members left.
![]() I actually interviewed Especia's producer during the release of CARTA (because they collaborated with a brazilian producer): https://thump.vice.com/pt_br/article...ro-pop-japones (it's in portuguese tho)

After checking them out I really like them.
![]() It is nice to see a group do something different. I actually think I like their newer stuff better. They seem less idol like now and more like a music project or group. |

it's cool that they're exploring new stuff while still remaining true to their essence. can't say i don't miss the cheesiness of their music and the silliness of their videos, though!
the only thing that's really bothering me is the fact that all their songs have been entirely in english ever since they became a trio, aside from the danger b-side ![]() |

They just released a last album called "Wizard" and it's some kind of Best of including songs from their EPs and singles.
