was a Japanese female vocal duo consisting of Ai and Saki. They produced ten singles along with two full-length albums and were officially recognized as a "Hip-hop/R&B Dance Unit."

History

Hailing from the Kansai region, the group was formed after triumphing in Sony Records' "Real Street Project" audition, chosen from an applicant pool exceeding 5,000 for a recording contract.

Their initial release, "A Street Story," came out in December 2006 and secured a position within the Kansai region's top ten sales charts. The duo was also featured in a television documentary and contributed to the creation of the show "Street Dance Drama."

In August 2007, their second single, "Lifetime Respect: 女編" (Onna Hen), which incorporates a sample from Miki Dōzan's "Lifetime Respect," was released as a response song. It debuted at number five on the Oricon charts and later climbed to number four.

Their single "Kansha," issued on 6 February 2008, was used as the fourteenth ending theme for the anime series Bleach.

June 2009 saw the release of their seventh single, "アンマー～母唄～" ("Anma~HaHa Uta~"), a rendition of Kariyushi58's Okinawan rock-reggae track "アンマー" ("Anma"), which translates to Mother.

Although not released as a single, the track "Dice" received a music video and was included on their album titled "Dice."

The ninth single, "Tabidatsu kimi e," served as Bleach’s twenty-second ending theme and was launched on 10 March 2010.

On 14 June 2010, Real Street Project appeared at Anime Expo in the United States as official guests of honor. Their performance on 1 July 2010 at Nokia Plaza featured Bleach ending themes such as "Tabidatsu Kimi e," "Kansha," and their latest single "Ai Kotoba," marking their debut live appearance outside Japan.

Their tenth single, "Ai Kotoba," was released on 7 July 2010.

The second studio album, ii, was made available on 29 September 2010 and included a DVD containing music videos along with footage from their visit to Los Angeles for Anime Expo.

The ensemble wrapped up its activities with a farewell concert held at Shinsaibashi Club Drop (Osaka) on 3 November 2013.
