■Profile
Don’t pop it
Formed in 2015, Vo.Key. Ayako Kamegai and Dr. Kawamura sing a light pop song about impermanence.
With Kawamura’s somewhat lonely but positive lyrical world and Kamegai’s expressive, quirky and attractive vocals, it has a minimal composition but a perfect musicality. Their music videos that follow their unique music philosophy and their live performances that recreate their world view with their solid expressiveness are becoming a hot topic.
In February 2024, he will release his 2nd major full album “DOKI”. His first national one-man tour, “Hear the Heartbeat,” ended with a sold-out final performance at Tokyo’s Ebisu LIQUIDROOM. Furthermore, in September of the same year, they released the mini-album “Hatsugatsu no Gunsou” and held a release tour at Shangri-la in Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka.
