Hasu, a newcomer who appeared on Yuri Channel at the end of last year and drew attention for her outstanding singing ability, has released her long-awaited new single, "Yozora Ai"!

Sony Music Entertainment Inc. is pleased to announce the digital release of a new song by Hasu, “Yozora Ai,” as part of the novel, music, and illustration collaboration project “READ.”

Monogatary.com is a novel submission site where users can freely submit “stories” to “topics” given by the site’s management every day, and have fun reacting to them in various ways, such as adding illustrations and comments. The past contest “Monogatary 2019” hosted by the site attracted a lot of attention, such as the birth of “YOASOBI,” a unit that turns novels into music, which has been extremely successful, with their hit song “Idol” reaching number one on the global charts.

“READ” is a collaborative project from “monogatary.com” featuring up-and-coming creators, mainly novelists, artists, and illustrators.

We will be releasing a few original songs and lyric videos based on the novels every month. It goes without saying that the original novels are fascinating, so please enjoy the reinterpretations of the novels by popular artists and creators.

We are now pleased to announce that READ has digitally released a new song, “Yozora Ai,” by Hasu, a promising newcomer who appeared on the “Yuuri Channel” as a regular person at the end of last year and whose outstanding singing ability became a hot topic, today, Wednesday, August 7th.

“Hasu” is a 21-year-old multi-artist who excels in songwriting, arranging, illustration, and photography.

After appearing on Yuri’s channel, she began posting songs to subscription services in January 2024. She released “Love tap,” “Norarikurari,” and “Whereabouts” on subscription services.

The new song “Yozora Ai” released today is based on the novel “Omoi wa Hoshizora e, Utsukushiku hikari” (Feelings shine beautifully on the starry sky), posted on monogatary.com. The song re-expresses the heartwarming story of the novel. Please enjoy listening to the novel and the audio.

What’s more, KOPAKU, a popular illustrator who draws on the theme of the Weathered Tribe, who live in a world forgotten by the world, people, and society, is in charge of the artwork and lyric video for this song, “Yozora Ai.” The lyric video has also been released, so please take a look.

“READ” is a project that allows you to experience a three-dimensional worldview through the three axes of novels, music, and illustrations.

Please come and try the works created in collaboration with “Hasu” and “KOPAKU”.
