Uverworld (stylized as UVERworld) is a Japanese rock band consisting of six members and originating from Kusatsu, Shiga. They have released eleven studio albums and over thirty singles and have sold over three million records worldwide.
"Uverworld" is a term coined by the band, combining the German word "über" (meaning "over") with the English word "world" to form a phrase that means "crossing above the world". While based in rock music, their sound incorporates elements of hip-hop such as rapping, scratching, and beatboxing, as well as heavy guitar riffs.
