■Matsumura Kanau

He is 22 years old, born on November 20, 2002.

Her singing video from high school became a hot topic on social media, and her first song, “The Best of the Greatest Great Answer,” has since been charted in the top 10 on Spotify Japan (highest number 8), while “Above Friends and Less Lover” has surpassed 6.9 million MVs and 16 million Spotify views.

With his resonating lyrics and comfortable singing voice, he mainly works on social media like a Gen Z artist, and in his first solo tour in spring 2025, tickets for both Osaka and Tokyo venues were completed immediately.

He is one of the next generation’s most popular artists, with his second solo tour coming up in August.

■What is AWA Lounge?

This is an online space where users can enjoy playing music and interacting with each other in real time.

Using the “Song Request”, “Chat”, and “Stamp” functions, users who enter the same room can experience an online karaoke room-like experience, and all functions can be enjoyed on the Free plan.

Another major feature of this lounge is that all users in the room can watch the same music at the same time, so it can be used as a place to “support” to increase the number of views of your favorite artists. If you join the lounge as a STANDARD member, you will receive more rewards to the artists.
