This band of cousins is nearly unrecognizable onstage, as the quiet, demure girls transform into rocksters. Chimari, under the stage name "Rosie" (Vo.), is their frontman, and the other members are finicky Ayako (Gt.), old-fashioned Benten (Bas.), hardworking Nikki (Drm.), and lighthearted Rii (Key.). Started for the sake of playing at a family reunion, their band quickly developed its onw lively spirit, and the five girls' eclectic personalities and unique music tastes combine to create something wonderful.
Chimari Tamashiro
Summary: The frontman of Rosebud Rock, she performs as the stage persona 'Rosie', who is much bolder and livelier than the typically timid Chimari. The girl under the pigtail is shy and modest, and it's always shocking to see her 'other side' for the first time, no matter who you meet first.

Ayako Tao
Summary: A little uptight and overly concerned with appearances, Ayako doesn't like to get her hands dirty. She's a fan of glitter and girly things, and enjoys parties and socializing. She's been taking voice lessons since she was young, but prefers guitar with the band- her 'style' isn't really what they're going for.

Benten Hironaka
Summary: The most 'old-fashioned' out of the five girls, Benten considers her odd way of talking as part of her charm. She's a little slow to adapt to change and accept new ideas, but she trusts her cousins to set a good example for her to learn from, or at least to be so forceful a bad influence that she doesn't get a chance to chicken out.

Nikki Kanbayoshi
Summary: Nikki was raised in a rural area, and inherited her father's taste in music- western, acoustic, 'country'-style, to be specific. The idea to start the band was her and Chimari's idea in the first place, and she was inspired to do it by a friend. Who she is not jealous of. At all. Shut up.
