Kensuke Takahashi’s solo project. After working on the track making for the song “Script” included in LUCKY TAPES’ album “BITTER!” and the remix of “NO AID,” he began to work on Qnel in earnest. He released his debut song “Hikiai” in April 2022. In 2023, he released his debut album “Siesta,” featuring key figures in the scene such as HIROSHI (FIVE NEW OLD), Atsushi Inoue (showmore), and Jun Miyagawa (LAGHEADS). He has performed in two-man shows with Shota Aratani (yonawo) and solo shows, earning high praise. He has also expanded his range of activities as a guitarist, recording for artists such as Superfly and NOA, providing live support for saccharin and UEBO, and working as a producer and arranger with artists such as Yuinishio and peeto.

Isono-kun (YONA YONA WEEKENDERS)
He is the frontman of YONA YONA WEEKENDERS, a four-piece band with origins in melodic hardcore punk that plays “good music to snack on.”
Her groovy and expressive singing voice is her charm. She likes alcohol, ramen, and Nogizaka46.
As a band, they will release their major 1st single “Ii Yume” on April 7, 2021 (Yonah Day) through Speedstar Records under Victor Entertainment.
Their first album, “YONA YONA WEEKENDERS,” was released in November 2021.
His collaborative work, unique to band members such as Takeshi Arai (The Band Apart), Tadahiro Tsai (Bonobos), and Ikuko Harada (Clammbon), has also attracted attention.
Not only is he a band man, but he is also renowned for his speaking and writing skills, which he honed while working as a salaryman (salesman). He is active in a wide range of fields, including writing lyrics and composing music, writing a column on ramen and music called “I Can Hear the Song from Ramen,” having a regular segment on his hometown RSK radio called “Welcome Back, Isono-kun,” starring in a music video for YYW, and performing with the comedy duo Sisonne.
In 2024, they will release their second full album “LIVE”, their first in three years, and announce a nationwide tour.
The way he lives and plays is always full of hope.
