I think "fictional band" is mildly clickbait when really it's "movie soundtrack". One of which goes into the charts every few years.

The film is somewhat interesting because although the premise is very anime, the animation style isn't at all. Combined with the massive resources of Sony and Netflix that makes it pretty accessible to a Western audience.

"Fictional band" is pretty apt considering it's a band that appears in a work of fiction. I think it's just that with the rise of AIslop, one might think that it means a completely made up band that's just computer-generated, and not real voice actors performing in character with professional musicians composing, arranging and performing the music.

Yes this is what I thought, that it was AI fake bands basically. This sounds a bit more like Sugar Sugar by The Archies, which is a made up cartoon band with a number one hit.

I was thinking Flight of the Conchords, but Wikipedia says the band existed before the radio and TV shows.
