Maru

Maru is a generative art project consisting of 1,203 NFTs of varying rarity where each artwork comes with musical stems from a song written exclusively for the drop. Created for superfans of the cult indie band Gesu no Kiwami Otome, ownership grants exclusive access to giveaways, a live musical session and even the opportunity to take part in the creative process for a new music video with the band. Made in collaboration with the band, KLKTN Studio, and artist Central Park.

Formed in Tokyo in 2012, Gesu no Kiwami Otome (ゲスの極み乙女“Lowest Lowest Girl”), paved the way for progressive indie music in Japan, going beyond the bounds of J-pop to bring together musical influences from hip hop to jazz to classic rock. In the process they’ve created a sound uniquely their own, amassing critical praise and millions of devoted fans who love them as much for their musicianship as for their charisma.
