■〝Mine〟
Alternative singer-songwriter. The depth of the world of songs that conveys meaning in each behavior and gesture has been well-received. Her unique sensibilities stimulate the prefrontal cortex of customers with maniacal sensibilities. I also actively work on streaming for my own enjoyment and to connect with customers. Enjoying the new era. The first album “Enshin no Toride” will be released in December 2023. Their latest song “Mushi to Electric Chair Melody” was released in September. A one-man live will be held at Shibuya duo MUSIC EXCHANGE on January 23rd next year.
■I love me
The power of the song’s lyrics, which encourage people to “just be themselves”, resonates with a generation that struggles with living in a world where they tend to compare themselves with others.
In December 2024, the album “SAGAMIHARA” will be released from the independent label OMAMORI RECORDS. The album, which contains the songs Vocalist Mihono Sato wrote while still living in Sagamihara City, Kanagawa Prefecture, where she was born and raised, has been featured on the local community broadcasting program “FM Sagami” and has become a hot topic. While valuing “let people hear the songs”, the songs produced with global sounds that are aimed at the world have received attention in the media and are beginning to attract the attention of music fans overseas.
■Amber Yamaguchi
Started activities around 2020. A current graduate student singer-songwriter whose theme is “Until I can love solitude” and whose activities are centered on the Internet. It is characterized by a languid and melancholy singing voice. “Blue Room”, which was released for distribution in August 2022, was selected for the Spotify playlist “Kira Kira Pop: Japan”, which is curated by music concierge Fukuryu, and the playlist’s best project of the year “Best of Kira Kira Pop 2022”. Ta. In May 2024, the latest song “Twin Ray” will be released.
■ Also sister
Distribution activities at AWA Lounge will begin on April 5, 2024. I came across streaming activities when I was going through a difficult time myself, and I have had the experience of gaining energy and courage through songs and talks, so I want to do some streaming that will give someone the courage to take the first step when they feel lost. We have started our activities. As your virtual neighbor sister who lives in the house next to you, I’m looking forward to you coming back to stream today. Although she is still not very good at anything, she strives every day to become a big sister who can take on many challenges through various activities and encounters.
