Queen Bee

Queen Bee (stylized in all caps) are a Japanese rock band, formed in Kobe on March 31, 2009. They are known in Japan as Ziyoou-vachi (Japanese: 女王蜂, Hepburn: Joōbachi) and have described their genre of music and imagery themselves as "fashion punk". Within 2009 the band recorded and, at the beginning of 2010, self-released an extended play record on CD-R through their own Ziyoou Record (女王レコード, Joō Rekōdo) label, followed by another the same year, which they sold at their performances.[citation needed] In 2011 they had their first album, Witch Hunt, professionally manufactured and distributed. Later the same year they signed a major label contract, making Ziyoou Record a sub-label of Sony Music Associated Records. They have since had four full-length major-label albums released and their music has been featured in the films Love Strikes!, Sadako and Tokyo Ghoul 'S' and the television programs Spooky Romantics, Tokyo Ghoul:re and Dororo.
