Round Table is a Japanese pop band known mostly for their anime soundtracks. The band was formed in 1997 with Katsutoshi Kitagawa (vocals, guitar, and bass guitar) and Rieko Ito (vocals and keyboard) as band members. In 2002, Nino joined as a guest vocalist. Nino provides the main vocals for the songs while Kitagawa provides backing vocals. Since then their songs have often been credited as ROUND TABLE featuring Nino. The name of their fifth studio album overall and first featuring Nino, April, came from Nino's birth-month. The album contains their hit single that is most popularly known in the Anime demographic, "Let Me Be With You", as it was used for the opening song for the 2002 adapted anime television series Chobits.
On October 13th, 2025, Nino performed with ROUND TABLE for the first time in 13 years at a concert celebrating the 20th anniversary of Aria the Animation.
