Artist Information 

Yoasobi

Yoasobi, a Japanese pop duo established in 2019 under Sony Music Entertainment Japan, consists of Vocaloid producer Ayase and singer-songwriter Lilas Ikuta, known by the moniker Ikura. They are recognized for their "novel into music" concept, initially creating songs based on selected short stories from Monogatary.com, a creative writing platform affiliated with their label. Over time, their sources expanded to include works by professional authors, books, letters, and plays.

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan, Yoasobi gained widespread acclaim with their debut single "Yoru ni Kakeru," which dominated the Billboard Japan Hot 100 chart for six non-consecutive weeks in 2020 and achieved diamond certification for streaming from the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ), a first for the country. Additional songs such as "Gunjō," inspired by Blue Period, "Kaibutsu," the opening theme of Beastars, and "Idol," the opening theme of Oshi no Ko, also earned diamond certifications. "Idol" notably held the top spot on the Japan Hot 100 for 22 non-consecutive weeks, setting a record and marking Yoasobi as the first Japanese act to lead the Billboard Global Excl. US chart.

In their discography, Yoasobi released three Japanese EPs titled The Book, The Book 2 (2021), and The Book 3 (2023), all peaking at number two on the Oricon Albums Chart. They also launched three English EPs: E-Side (2021), E-Side 2 (2022), and E-Side 3 (2024). Beyond music, the duo collaborated with four Naoki Prize-winning novelists to produce the short story collection Hajimete no in 2022, intertwining songs with each narrative. Their contributions to music earned them numerous awards, including Japan Gold Disc Awards, CD Shop Awards, MTV Video Music Awards Japan, Japan Record Awards, Noma Publishing Culture Award, and a Crunchyroll Anime Award.

HANABIE

Hanabie (花冷え, stylized as HANABIE) is a metalcore band hailing from Tokyo, Japan, established in 2015. Comprising vocalist Yukina, guitarist Matsuri, bassist Hettsu, and drummer Chika, the group is renowned for merging intense and heavy music with the contrasting aesthetics of Harajuku, a style they define as "Harajuku-core." Their musical compositions fuse elements of metalcore, hardcore punk, and nu metal, incorporating hints of hip hop and electronica.

Initially coming together as high school friends bonded by their mutual love for Maximum the Hormone, Hanabie began their journey as a cover band as part of their light music club endeavors. Gradually, they transitioned into crafting original songs, ultimately self-producing their inaugural single in 2016. After an independent phase during which they released an album and an EP, they inked a deal with Epic Records Japan, a Sony Music Japan subsidiary, in 2023. That same year, they dropped their second album "Reborn Superstar!", securing the 24th position on Billboard Japan's weekly album charts. The album's triumphs facilitated their global exposure, landing them spots at diverse music festivals beyond Japan.

The band's moniker, Hanabie (花冷え, "chilly spring weather"), symbolizes the birth months of its founding quartet, all born during winter or spring seasons. The inclusion of "。" signifies progress and was inspired by another band admired by the members during their middle school days. Their music has found placement in various media, including DMM TV drama "Kenshiro ni Yoroku" and the Japanese variety show "Kannai Devil.""
