UraShimaSakataSen (浦島坂田船), or USSS for short, is a 4-unit indie pop boy group consisting of Uratanuki (Green), Shima (Purple), Sakata (Red) and Senra (Yellow). They teamed up in 2013 and opened at least one live tour each year. They also have their own commercial items such as the Gachapon or some merchandise on the DEEN shop website. They have a close relationship in real life.
In Spring 2017, USSS formed a fictional unit called "Fourpe" (フォープ Fōpu) under contract with NBCUniversal Entertainment Japan. In Fall 2019, the group received a short deformed animated comedy series, Days of Urashimasakatasen (浦島坂田船の日常 Urashimasakatasen no Nichijō).
USSS official illustrations were often drawn by the illustrator Tsukimori Fuyuka (月森フユカ) up until 2020, when she left due to health issues; and MACCO, RAHWIA, or Nonomaro from then onward. While most of their original songs were initially composed by the producer Sum, they have since obtained a variety of songs composed by many different producers.
