モノブライト (also monobright or MONOBRIGHT) is a Japanese rock band. They formed in June 2006 and their big break came in 2007 upon their signing to DefSTAR RECORDS, Japan. They were active as a five-piece band from November 2010 to November 2012. Motoki Matsuoka was the music producer for the band until their seventh single, " Kodoku no Taiyo," and they have been self-producing ever since. Their genre is often described as Shimokita kei, Pop Rock, Alternative rock or Power Pop. They have been on hiatus from 2017 until 2025.
They played their last gig before their hiatus at COUNTDOWN JAPAN 17/18 in December 2017. Their last one man before their hiatus of their tour "monobright × MONOBRIGHT × モノブライト 2007-2017" took place on December 20th 2017 at Sound Lab mole, Hokkaido. It was called "Mata aimashou" (Let's meet again soon).
On June 24th 2025 they started a 10 day countdown on their Twitter account leading to the announcement of their comeback/reunion on July 4th 2025. They announced two concerts at Shibuya and Umeda Quattro for February 2026 (monobright one man live 2026 "Jumping Jack Flash") and uploaded their indie release "monobright zero" from 2007 on streaming services.
