All members are company employees.
“You don’t have to give up something to choose something else”
With this in mind, he creates music that will inspire people while he works.
Their roots are in a wide range of music, including Japanese artists such as JUDY AND MARY, Mr.Children, Quruli, KIRINJI, Fujifabric, Yoshizawa Kayoko, UK rock such as Radiohead, overseas fusion, progressive rock, modern funk such as Vulfpeck, R&B, and contemporary jazz, and this is reflected in the musicality of (YORU and) SAMPO.
In July 2020, they released their first EP “Night and Walk” and made a breakthrough with the lead song “The Eve of Revolution.”
In August of the same year, they held their first live show. Due to the impact of COVID-19, they decided to start their live performance career with a solo show.
Just six months later, in February 2021, the members’ skillful musical skills, performance and expressiveness, as well as their underlying strong passion, captivated the judges and audience, and they were awarded the Grand Prix at “eo Music Try 20/21”.
They will make their major debut with “Henshin” in November 2023, and in January 2024, “Plasma Classic Music” will be the opening theme for the MBS/TBS series “#Izakaya Shinkansen 2.”
The band’s major debut album, “Monster”, is scheduled to be released on August 28, 2024!
