Fhána (stylized as fhána) is a four-member Japanese pop band that formed in 2012 as an indie band. After releasing one album independently, they were signed in 2013 to Lantis. They released their debut single "Que Sera Sera" in August 2013.
Fhána originally formed with Jun'ichi Satō, Yuxuki Waga and Kevin Mitsunaga, and all three had previously been involved in separate indie bands. Fhána did not have a fixed vocalist at first, instead employing guest vocalists to sing the band's songs. Fhána released their independent album New World Line on May 18, 2012 featuring four guest vocalists: Makiko Naka, Towana, IA (a Vocaloid sampling Lia's voice), and Aoi Tada. In late 2012, Towana joined Fhána as the official vocalist. Fhána was signed to Lantis in 2013 and released their major debut single "Que Sera Sera" (ケセラセラ Ke Sera Sera?) on August 21, 2013; the song is used as the ending theme to the 2013 anime series The Eccentric Family.
The band's second single "Tiny Lamp" was released on November 23, 2013; the song is used as the opening theme to the 2013 anime series Gingitsune. Their third single "Divine Intervention" was released on January 22, 2014; the song is used as the opening theme to the 2014 anime series Witch Craft Works. Fhána's fourth single "Itsuka no, Ikutsuka no Kimi to no Sekai" (いつかの、いくつかのきみとのせかい?) was released on April 30, 2014; the song is used as the opening theme to the 2014 anime series The Kawai Complex Guide to Manors and Hostel Behavior. Fhána released an updated version of their New World Line album titled View from New World Line on May 28, 2014 via iTunes. The band's fifth single "Hoshikuzu no Interlude" (星屑のインターリュード?) was released on November 5, 2014; the song is used as the ending theme to the 2014 anime series Celestial Method. Fhána's major debut album Outside of Melancholy was released on February 4, 2015.
