● AI
Born in Los Angeles, USA, and raised in Kagoshima.
Authentic singing skills honed in a gospel choir, dance sense learned at a prestigious L.A. art school. Perfect English, and street sense allowing her to rap bilingually.
A one-of-a-kind existence gaining support from the underground to the overground, that is AI.
In addition to her charm as a singer and her lovable personality, the scope of her activities transcends borders, having collaborated with international big-name artists such as Snoop Dogg/Jacksons/Chaka Khan/Chris Brown/MJ116, etc.
In 2025, entering her 25th anniversary year, her best-hits tour drawing 100,000 people across 32 nationwide performances became a premium tour where tickets were hard to get everywhere.
A global standard artist Japan boasts to the world, sending hit songs out like 'Story', 'Happiness', 'Minna ga Minna Eiyuu', and 'Aldebaran'.
● ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
Formed in 1996. A 4-piece rock band consisting of Masafumi Gotoh (vo.g), Kensuke Kita (g.vo), Takahiro Yamada (b.vo), and Kiyoshi Ijichi (dr).
Made their major debut in 2003 with 'Mirai no Kakera'. From the same year, they launched the rock festival 'NANO-MUGEN FES.' at Shinjuku LOFT, expanding its scale year by year. They actively attempted to introduce a wide range of genres to music fans by inviting overseas artists like WEEZER and MANIC STREET PREACHERS. In 2025, they held 'NANO-MUGEN FES.' at K-Arena Yokohama for the first time in 11 years. Furthermore, in the same year, they served as the opening act for OASIS held at Tokyo Dome.
In 2026, marking their 30th anniversary, tours in Jakarta and South America have also been decided.
They continue to lead the scene and gain immense support across generations with the realistic feeling of frustration depicted by Gotoh, overwhelming emotion that sublimates even despair into a driving force, and 'rock sounded in Japanese' that is not just about momentum.
● amazarashi
A band centered around Hiromu Akita residing in Aomori Prefecture.
Likening the sadness and suffering that falls on everyday life to rain, the band was named from the idea that we are weather-beaten but 'even so' (amazarashi). Advocating the concept of 'anti-nihilism', they possess a biting poetic world that finds hope in despair. At live performances, a screen is set up in front of the stage
