ZUTOMAYO (ずっと真夜中でいいのに。)

A musical band without a specific form, led by "ACAね," who handles lyrics, composition, vocals, and guitar.

With over 3.3 million YouTube channel subscribers and a total of 4.8 billion song plays.

Known as an artist rooted in the online scene with their unique linguistic sense, musical compositions, and animation expressions, they are also gaining attention as a live band through homages to past musical contexts and analog, experimental, and energetic stage performances using equipment such as reel-to-reel tape recorders, fans, and CRT TVs.

In recent years, they have performed at numerous festivals and engaged in vigorous live activities, including headlining the GREEN STAGE at FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL '24 as a Japanese artist.

As a special performance continuing their JAPAN & ASIA arena tour "ZOMBIE CRAB LABO," they will hold a solo live performance [LEGACY ZOMBIE LABO "Bunkadenrai" Nara, Heijo-kyo] for two days on October 10, 2026 (Sat) and October 11, 2026 (Sun) (the day before the holiday), set in Nara's Heijo-kyo.

What is AWA Lounge?

An online space where users can enjoy sharing music and interacting in real-time.

Using the "Song Request," "Chat," and "Stamp" functions, users in the same room can experience something similar to an online karaoke room, and all functions can be enjoyed even with the Free plan.

Furthermore, since all users in a lounge simultaneously listen to the same music, it is also a great feature for "cheering" on your favorite artists by increasing their play counts. Participating in a lounge as a STANDARD member contributes more to the artist.
