He first came to prominence at the age of 15 and became the youngest person to ever win the “BAZOOKA!!! High School Rap Championship,” which has produced many stars such as T-Pablow and Chanmina.
Novel Core’s talent was recognised and he signed a contract with Zeebra’s hip-hop label. Although his origins as an artist are in the hip-hop scene, after his major debut he has not been bound by genre, but has actively crossed over with rock and pop, which are his roots, and has greatly expanded the scope of his activities with his diverse musical sense.
He has now announced that he will be releasing the skillful hip-hop tune “SHIKATO!!!” on Wednesday, June 19th, produced by RIK, who has worked on songs by vividboooy and Yo-Sea, among others.
The release of this song comes as he continues to approach the hip-hop scene, having successfully sold out his solo concert at Nippon Budokan in January of this year, and appearing in Japan’s largest MC battle “BATTLE SUMMIT II” to be held on August 14th, as well as hinting at the existence of a new song “SKILL TEST” produced by Chaki Zulu.
Keep an eye out for Novel Core’s rap skills as he completely ignores all kinds of heckling.
In addition, ahead of the release on Wednesday, June 19th, the full version of his new song “SHIKATO!!!” will be aired for the first time on today’s, Friday, June 14th episode of J-WAVE’s “TURNING BACK” (every Friday from 25:30 to 26:00), which he hosts himself.
Please don’t ignore us, but watch carefully.

Born in Tokyo, 23 years old. Rapper, singer-songwriter.
He is the first artist to join SKY-HI’s management/label “BMSG”.
Possessing high rap skills and delicate singing techniques, his unique style is never bound by genre, which has attracted fans, and his albums have reached number one on various charts in Japan, allowing him to expand explosively in a short period of time since his major debut.
This new generation artist continues to make rapid progress, having successfully completed a nationwide tour visiting large live music venues, mainly Zepp, a completely sold-out solo performance at Nippon Budokan, and announcing their first solo arena performance on February 11th next year.
While he has established his presence as a musician, he has also attracted attention from the fashion industry, having been chosen as a model for top fashion houses such as FERRAGAMO and ETRO.
