Artist information
◾️ vitaruun ◾️
Dr.Vo. Kumiko, Key.Cho. Amana
Drummer and vocalist Kumiko Hattori from the twin-vocal trio Scenarioart, and Amana (ex-Moccobond), a seasoned keyboardist known for supporting acts like ORESKABAND and mekakushe, have joined forces to form the two-piece unit vitaruun (vaɪ.tə.loon).
Having crossed paths repeatedly in the Osaka music scene since their early 20s, the two artists developed a deep mutual respect while pursuing their own musical journeys. Now, more than a decade later, this powerhouse duo—featuring a super drummer-vocalist and a super keyboardist—is finally bringing their combined talents to life.

◾️ Maxime Kasasa ◾️
I would present my music as a Soulful symphony, blending alternative R&B rhythms with poetic Rap. Resonating emotions and authenticity in every beat.
With my debut EP, “5 Phases” I want to explore an introspective journey navigating different phases of a romantic relationship.
Allow me and some of my favourite musicians in Tokyo to take you on this jazzy journey.

◾️ Marki Bongui ◾️
Marki Bongui is an acoustic duo consisting of vocalist/guitarist Marcy and percussionist Hiroki. Marcy, with roots in Sri Lanka, brings an ennui-tinged voice, while Hiroki, rooted in Japan, adds warm, human rhythms. Together, they craft a sound where nostalgia and freshness quietly coexist.
Their aim isn’t polished perfection, but something raw, imperfect, and unmistakably human. Switching naturally between Japanese and English, their music gives gentle shape to unspoken thoughts and uncertain emotions.

◾️ Ryuichi from johann (solo guitar set) ◾️
JOHANN, Tokyo’s instrumental rock sensation, Founded in 2008 by Ryuichi Sato (Guitar) and Ryosuke Fukatsu (Drums), JOHANN expresses Japanese culture through powerful melodies, embodying their motto: “TOKYO JAPANESE WABI SABI TATAMI PRIDE.”

◾️ Kotatsu ◾️
Kotatsu, a French DJ rooted in Tokyo, finds her musical inspiration in the vibrant pulse of electro and house, infusing world beats that invite listeners on a journey. Her sets offer a warm and inviting atmosphere, aiming to touch your soul and create a heartwarming experience.
