■What is “NO MUSIC, NO LIFE.@”?
The opinion ad series “NO MUSIC, NO LIFE. @” focuses on artists who are active not only in releasing packages but also in music distribution, and its main media is web services such as the music subscription service “TOWER RECORDS MUSIC powered by Recochoku” and Tower Records Online, which were launched in October 2021.

Sarasa Profile
A singer-songwriter from Shonan with a free mind and unique perspective. He embraces all genres such as SOUL, R&B, and ROCK, and captivates listeners with his somewhat ennui-filled melodies and melancholy singing voice. Influenced by the music genre blues, born from sadness and depression, he transforms negative emotions and events into creative ones and affirms them under the theme of his own coined word “Live Bluesy.”
In July 2021, they released their debut single “Nail Island” and began their activities in earnest. Just one year after their debut, they performed at FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL’22. In December 2022, they released their first album, “Inner Ocean”.
In December 2023, their solo live (star) at Shibuya WWW X in Tokyo sold out in one day. In addition, they have also performed at GREEENROOM FESTIVAL, Asagiri JAM, Ganbeki Music Festival, LUCFest in Taiwan, and Korea.
He has performed at many large festivals both in Japan and overseas, including the ASIA SONG FESTIVAL. In addition to his musical activities, he is also active in many other fields, including as an art artist, apparel brand buyer, and hula dancer.
A tour of Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka is scheduled for September 2024.

[Sarasa’s comment]
We will be releasing our second album, “Golden Child,” on September 4th. We are looking forward to sharing our new songs with you all on our Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka tour!
This album was also smooth and free, with many colors moving back and forth. I am grateful to be able to freely create the music I like with the cooperation of many people.
