He began his career as a singer-songwriter with the release of his first single, "Tamamushiiro," in 2021. After collaborating with RUNG HYANG and Mukai Taichi, he released his first EP, "Human," in May 2023.

Reina
An R&B singer from the creative label wau, she was influenced from a young age by a variety of Black music, primarily 90s hip-hop/R&B artists such as ATCQ, Mobb Deep, and Soulquarians, thanks to her experience as a dancer. Possessing a relaxed yet distinctively powerful voice, she also possesses the potential to rap, making her a rare authentic R&B singer in Japan. Her first album, "You Were Wrong," released in February 2023, reached the top of charts around the world, garnering unprecedented attention for an artist active less than a year. Her EP, "A Million More," released last year, also garnered critical acclaim, and her first solo concert at Omotesando WALL&WALL in May sold out, steadily solidifying her presence. She creates music that incorporates the diverse contexts of Black music while incorporating a modern R&B interpretation. She is a worthy artist to watch.
