■I’ll come
“A band that grows through the eating of sadness.”
The group name “Atarayo” comes from the “Atarayo” which means “a night so beautiful that it’s a shame to end.”
In November 2020, he began posting songs on YouTube and began his activities.
His first original song, “October: Forgetting You’re Silent in October,” has become a hot topic for its sad, emotional voice, urban atmosphere, and sad lyrics that resonate with each other, and has now surpassed 50 million views on YouTube.
When they began digital releases in March 2021, they quickly reached top spot on each subscription chart. Less than a year after he began his activities, he also appeared in THE FIRST TAKE.
“Tsukinovne” was released on April 9th, 2025, and “One Ai” was released on April 23rd.
■What is AWA Lounge?
This is an online space where users can enjoy playing music and interacting with each other in real time.
Using the “Song Request”, “Chat”, and “Stamp” functions, users who enter the same room can experience an online karaoke room-like experience, and all functions can be enjoyed on the Free plan.
Another major feature of this lounge is that all users in the room can watch the same music at the same time, so it can be used as a place to “support” to increase the number of views of your favorite artists. If you join the lounge as a STANDARD member, you will receive more rewards to the artists.
