Who Are the Contributing Artists in Bocchi the Rock!?
Aside from singer-songwriter Ai Higuchi, Kana-Boon’s Maguro Taniguchi also contributed to the songs performed by the anime’s Kessoku Band.
In Bocchi the Rock!, Kessoku Band is the name of Nijika Ijichi's band, where she performs alongside Ryou Yamada on bass, Hitori Gotou on guitars, and Ikuyo Kita on vocals and guitars.
The name of the band has been a running gag in the show because it is a play on the words "Kessoku" (unity) and "Kessoku Band" (cable tie).
The opening song of the anime, Seishun Complex (Youth Complex), was written by Ai Higuchi, and the music was composed by Otoha of the musical group 48foureight.
Ai Higuchi is best known for her contributions to the composition, lyrics, and performance of Attack on Titan: The Final Season Part 2's ending theme song.
Maguro Taniguchi, the vocalist and guitarist for Kana-Boon, wrote the lyrics and composed the music for the anime's ending song, Distortion.
Taniguchi is best known for his lyrics and composition for the Boruto: Naruto the Movie theme song.
He also created the ending theme song arrangement for Fire Force Season 2's second ending song, as well as the theme song composition and lyrics for its second opening song.
Kessoku Band performs the anime's opening and closing songs, with Ikumi Hasegawa (Ikuyo Kita's voice actor) on vocals.

Who Are Hitori Gotou’s Voice Actors?
Yoshino Aoyama is Hitori Gotou’s Japanese voice actor. As of writing, Hitori’s English dub voice actor has not yet been announced.
Aoyama is currently affiliated with 81 Produce and has voiced a lot of characters from various anime shows.
She was the voice of Alicia, Marc, and Nina in The Promised Neverland, Fio in Konosuba, Shinjin in 86, Leo Natal in Uma Musume: Pretty Derby Season 2, Tiana Silvario XVI in Restaurant to Another World, Linmei in Deca-Dence, and Nanase Yoshino in Wake Up, Girls!
Hitori, the anime's main protagonist, has always been a loner since she was a child.
Aside from spending most of her time with her teacher, she doesn't have any friends to share every enjoyable aspect of going to school with.
Despite this, Hitori is optimistic about making new friends in high school.
Her plan includes joining a band and performing at live school events like the guy she saw on TV.
However, one month has passed, and her status as an introverted and awkward girl has not changed.
That's when Hitori met Nijika, who invited her to join her band after the previous guitarist left.
Who Are Nijika Ijichi's Voice Actors?
Nijika Ijichi's Japanese voice actor is Sayumi Suzushiro. Nijika's English dub voice actor, like Hitori's, is yet to be announced.
Suzushiro was the voice of Holt in The Dawn of the Witch, Lurie Aventrot in The Strongest Sage with the Weakest Crest, Asagao in In the Heart of Kunoichi Tsubaki, Yamashita Saki in Classroom of the Elite, and Illy in Monster Girl Doctor.
Nijika Ijichi, the drummer of Kessoku Band, has a more outgoing and friendly personality than Hitori and Ryou.
She is the band's founder and is in charge of everything, including the band's budget, affairs, gigs, public relations, and so much more.
She is also the first to approach Hitori and drag her out of her cave.
Nijika is also Seika's younger sister. Seika is the owner and manager of Starry, the live house where Kessoku Band is based.
Who Are Ryou Yamada’s Voice Actors?
Saku Mizuno, who also voices Ryuu Jusetsu in The Raven of the Inner Palace and Hananoi Rena in Selection Project, is Ryou Yamada's Japanese voice actor.
Ryou Yamada's English dub voice actor has not yet been announced at the time of writing.
Ryou Yamada plays bass guitar in Kessoku Band, opposite Hitori, who plays electric guitar.
Unlike Nijika, Ryou has an unusual personality and enjoys saying and doing whatever she wants in life.
Ryou is an open and honest person who only confides in Nijika at school after leaving her previous band.
Nijika claims that Ryou comes from a wealthy family, which explains how she can afford expensive guitars with her allowance.
Funny enough, Ryou is always broke and turns to grass for her diet.
Who Are Ikuyo Kita’s Voice Actors?
Ikumi Hasegawa is Ikuyo Kita’s Japanese voice actor. She was also the voice of Tamaki Wakana in Delicious Party Pretty Cure, Aisha Udgard in How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom, Azusa in Call of the Night, and Magahara Desumi in Love After World Domination.
On the other hand, the English dub voice actor for Ikuyo Kita is yet to be announced.
Ikuyo Kita is the singer and guitarist for Kessoku Band. She was the first person at school to approach Hitori after hearing her singing voice and guitar skills.
Ikuyo is also the former guitarist of the Kessoku Band, but she ran away from their first live performance.
It turns out that Ikuyo lied to Ryou and Nijika about knowing how to play the guitar.
Despite this, Nijika and Ryou welcomed her back into the band after she apologized and received encouraging words from Hitori.
