[Performing Artists]
[KIRINJI] Solo project by Takaki Horigome. Formed the band 'Kirinji' with brother Yoshiyuki Horigome in 1996; after Yoshiyuki left in 2013, the band continued as 'KIRINJI' with new members, shifting to the current solo project format in 2021. Evolving sound and unique lyrics have gained broad support across generations and borders. Released new album 'TOWN BEAT' on January 9, 2026. Held a band-format live tour across Fukuoka, Aichi, Osaka, and Tokyo from January 12, with all shows including NHK Hall sold out. Actively performs domestically and internationally, including a solo tour across all 47 prefectures and festival appearances in Asian countries.
[Tempalay] Band consisting of Ayato Obara (Gt.Vo.), Natsuki Fujimoto (Dr), and AAAMYYY (Syn. Cho.). The three talents merge or stir in exquisite balance, creating a unique musical image. Their sound, contemporary with overseas scenes yet freely leaping across genres, is psychedelic and nostalgic, evoking ancient Japanese scenery. Their limited debut EP 'Instant Hawaii' released in September 2015 sold out quickly. In December 2020, they released their first major-label digital single 'EDEN' from Warner Music/unBORDE. In 2024, celebrating their 10th anniversary, they held their first solo live at Nippon Budokan in Tokyo, with tickets selling out instantly.
[Kroi] Five-piece band presenting a mixed musical style that sublimates influences from R&B, funk, soul, rock, hip-hop, and other genres. Formed in February 2018. Made major debut with first album 'LENS' in June 2021. In January 2026, successfully completed their first arena tour at Osaka Castle Hall and Yoyogi National Stadium First Gymnasium, their largest capacity venues. Scheduled to hold a Zepp tour across 6 cities and 10 performances in summer 2026.
[Key Visual] Nobumasa Takahashi (Artist / Illustrator): Based in Tokyo and Onigashima, she visualizes 'invisible things in Japan' with niche expressions. Her gentle, delicate lines contrast with sharp, deep themes. She creates works with a unique atmosphere that feels 'Japanese' abroad and 'Western' in Japan, presenting them in various genres. Nostalgia and future coexist in her works.
[Creative Direction & Design] NATSUHIDE (Creative Director / Designer): Focuses on art direction and graphic design, handling cross-disciplinary creative work for companies, brands, spaces, and events. Skilled in creating memorable forms and designs that generate depth, using key visuals, illustrations, and words.
