Pupa!! (ピューパ‼︎) is a Japanese female idol group based in Tokyo. They operate primarily within the electro-pop and emo revival genres, blending elements of dance music, band-oriented rock, and electronic production. The group debuted in November 2017 and began full-scale activities in August 2018.

From the beginning, Pupa!! has focused on an “Electro & Emo revival” sound, combining emotional songwriting with energetic electronic arrangements.
