Creepy Nuts is a Japanese hip hop duo consisting of DJ Matsunaga and R-Shitei. They made their major label debut in 2017.[2] Their fan club is called "Club Creepy Nuts".

The duo performed the opening and ending themes for various anime and live-action television series like Call of the Night,[3] Extremely Inappropriate!,[4] and Dandadan.[5] They also made the theme song of the Spring Koshien broadcasts in 2022.[6]

Their single "Bling-Bang-Bang-Born" was released on January 7, 2024, as the opening theme for the second season of the anime series Mashle: Magic and Muscles. It topped the Billboard Japan Hot 100 for eight consecutive weeks,[7] becoming the duo's first number-one single on the chart as lead artists.[8] It was also a worldwide hit, reaching number eight on the Billboard Global 200.[9]

Several songs have been certified by the Recording Industry Association of Japan in the streaming category, including "Nobishiro", which has been certified platinum.[10]

The duo announced on their final show of their 2024 one-man tour that they would perform at Tokyo Dome on February 11, 2025, marking their first dome performance.[11]
