Yuusari, an artist who is gaining presence with her floating yet simple yet solid sound, and Oze Shiro, an artist who is original not only as a solo artist or duo but also as a designer, have been friends and performed together for some time, and have formed a unit called “Yusari & Oze Shiro” and released their first single today.
The dream world that only the two of them can create is depicted in a slow, steady manner, like a fairy tale being read aloud, with a sense of tension and humor at times. Their singing, which moves on the same wavelength but brings out the individuality of each of them, is unique and combines comfort and dignified strength, making this a song that fully captures the charm of the two of them.
To coincide with today’s release, live footage from June 21st, 2024 has also been released, raising expectations not only for the songs but also for future live performances.
・Self-liner notes
We started working on “Hashigo” in the fall of 2022, thinking it would be fun to write a song together and exchange ideas while writing.
Oze wrote the lyrics, Yusari added vocals and guitar to them, and the two of them arranged the song, adding and subtracting from each other. They recorded and created the artwork in their own rooms, sharing ideas night after night, and even set up a ladder on the paper night and decorated it with crowberries.
“It’s an incredible story about someone, somewhere, swaying up a very long, wobbly silver ladder.”
