Profile:
IS:SUE is a four-member Japanese girl group under Lapone Girls, consisting of Rin, Nano, Yuuki, and Rino (pictured from left to right). The members were selected from among the finalists of Produce 101 Japan The Girls, the same audition program that produced their sister group, ME:I.
Following the announcement that the four members had signed exclusive contracts with Lapone Girls, IS:SUE officially made their debut in June 2024 with their debut single album, 1st IS:SUE. The single topped the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ). Their cover of “Come Again” (originally by m-flo) gained traction on TikTok, which led to a collaboration with ☆Taku Takahashi of m-flo on their promotional single “Koe (コエ).”
IS:SUE is widely known for its “Heisei” aesthetics and has established a strong female fanbase in their 20s and 30s. The group has also appeared in advertisements for brands such as Kanebo, Anna Sui, and Reebok.
In December 2025 and January 2026, the group embarked on their first-ever tour, “2025 IS:SUE 1ST TOUR – IS:SUE IS COMING”, performing in six cities, with tickets selling out immediately after the announcement. Continuing their momentum, IS:SUE released their fourth single album, PHASE, in January 2026.
