History[]
Pre-debut[]
FAMM'IN was formed as a collaborative unit by FAKY, FEMM and Yup'in, who are all signed to the Avex Group, in early 2016. The 7-membered supergroup is supposed to represent the modern-day style and culture of Tokyo. While FAKY seeks the reality, FEMM embodies the virtual and Yup’in speaks for the street.The name of the group, symbolizing their unity, came naturally since their passion for their respective crafts kept expanding and growing as they worked and collaborated together more and more over time.
2016[]
In 2016, they were assigned to be sightseeing ambassadors and performance ambassadors of their hometown, Shibuya. On April 27, the unit debuted with their self-named digital EP. It's title track, "circle", has a traditional Japanese-style trap beat that samples Gagaku music.[1] The British Pop-culture media magazine DAZED described the song as "an experiment as it was a divine blast of unconventional pop, much along the lines of FKA twigs at her most exploratory".[2] After the release, the group started a series of live performances titled FAMM'IN TYO.[3][4]
2017[]
On March 29, 2017, FAMM'IN returned with the digital single "animus". The song was inspired by the ideas of psychologist Carl Jung, which the supergroup surmise as “the subconscious masculinity in women”. This concept is reflected in this song’s track, lyrics, visuals and styling. Just like the unit's previous track, "animus" features Gagaku music and rap. Furthermore, both songs were produced by Lil' Fang (from FAKY) and Yup'in and co-produced by Radical Hardcore Clique, a production group closely associated with FEMM.[2]
