Official HIGE DANdism

 (Official髭男dism) is a Japanese piano pop band from Matsue, Shimane, formed in mid 2012. The group consists of lead vocalist and pianist Fujihara Satoshi, guitarist Ozasa Daisuke, bassist and saxophonist Narazaki Makoto, and drummer Matsuura Masaki. They won the Grand Prix at the contest "V-air Amaban Grand Prix Tournament 2014".

In April 2015, they debuted under Lastrum with the mini album Love to Peace wa Kimi no Naka. In April 2018, they released their first album Escaparade and their major debut single "No Doubt" at the same time. In the following year, their popularity rose with the big hit "Pretender" and their first major album "Traveler" released in October also recorded good sales. At the end of 2019, they participated in the "NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen" for the first time.

In 2020, they switched labels to IRORI Records, a sublabel of Pony Canyon. In July 2022, Fujihara Satoshi was diagnosed with COVID-19. On March 11, 2023, they announced on their official website that vocalist Fujihara Satoshi would go on hiatus for vocal cord polyp treatment (presumably surgery?).
