The duo builds atmospheric electronic tracks around vocalist ikura's clear voice, often adapting existing stories.
If you want to hear their style in a nutshell, try 'Racing Into The Night' or '群青 (gunjou)', they're compact, melodic, and feel both contemporary and slightly literary.
They formed in 2019 and quickly stood out by making songs that start as adaptations of Japanese novels, giving their pop music a narrative edge you don't always hear. Tracks like 'Racing Into The Night' show how they wrap ikura's expressive vocals in atmospheric electronic arrangements, and their music has landed in anime and video games, including a 2022 collaboration with studio Bones for 'Blue'. It's a simple idea, turn written stories into melodic songs, but it's connected with a wide audience who appreciate that literary touch.
They debuted with 'Yoru ni Kakeru' in 2019, which got an English version as 'Racing Into The Night' in 2021 to reach listeners outside Japan. Since then, they've kept adapting novels into songs like 'Monster' and 'Blue', with their work appearing in media like anime, but the core approach hasn't shifted much.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
