Yoasobi is a Japanese pop duo formed in 2019 by Sony Music Entertainment Japan. It is composed of Vocaloid producer Ayase and singer-songwriter Lilas Ikuta, under the moniker Ikura. Represented by the slogan "novel into music", the duo originally released songs based on selected short stories posted on Monogatary.com [ja], a social media website for creative writing operated by the label. Sources later also come from various media like stories written by professional authors, books, letters, plays, etc.

Rising to prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan, Yoasobi's debut single, "Yoru ni Kakeru", gave the duo the breakthrough by spending six non-consecutive weeks atop Billboard Japan Hot 100 and topping its 2020 year-end chart without CD release, as well as receiving the first ever diamond certification for streaming from the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ). Besides "Yoru ni Kakeru", three other songs were certified diamonds: Blue Period-inspired "Gunjō", Beastars opening theme "Kaibutsu", and Oshi no Ko opening theme "Idol"; the latter set the record for the longest-running number one in the Japan Hot 100 history for 22 non-consecutive weeks, and the first Japanese act to top the Billboard Global Excl. US, as well as the 2023 nineteenth best-selling global song, according to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI).

Yoasobi released three Japanese-language EPs: The Book, The Book 2 (2021), and The Book 3 (2023), which all peaked at number two on the Oricon Albums Chart; and three English-language E-Side (2021), E-Side 2 (2022), and E-Side 3 (2024). Beyond their discography, the duo collaborated with four Naoki Prize-winning novelists—Rio Shimamoto, Mizuki Tsujimura, Miyuki Miyabe, and Eto Mori—to publish short story collection Hajimete no in 2022, and performed the songs based on each story. Yoasobi has earned several accolades, including ten Japan Gold Disc Awards, five CD Shop Awards, four MTV Video Music Awards Japan, two Japan Record Awards, one Noma Publishing Culture Award, and one Crunchyroll Anime Award, among others.

History[edit]

2019–2021: Formation, "Yoru ni Kakeru" and The Book[edit]

Yoasobi's hero image

Both members of Yoasobi had active music careers before the duo formation. Ayase, a singer-songwriter, producer, musician, and then-vocalist of rock band Davinci (2012–2020),[1] began using Vocaloid software Hatsune Miku to produce music and uploaded his first song, "Sentensei Assault Girl", on the video-sharing website Niconico in 2018 and gained popularity with "Last Resort" a year later. Then, he released his debut extended play Ghost City Tokyo in December 2019.[2][3] Lilas Ikuta (later performing under the stage name Ikura in Yoasobi) is a singer-songwriter and a then member of the cover group Plusonica (2017–2021).[4] In 2016, she participated in the new artist training course, called the Lesson, which was sponsored by Sony Music Entertainment Japan, and released her demo CD 15 no Omoi.[5] Later, Ikuta also released her first two EPs: Rerise (2018) and Jukebox (2019) through independent record label After School.[6][7]

In mid 2019, Ayase received an offer from Yohei Yashiro and Shuya Yamamoto from Sony Music Entertainment Japan to work for a project to produce songs inspired by short story submissions published on Monogatary.com [ja], a social media website for creative writing owned by SMEJ.[8] During the discussion about vocalists, Ayase found Ikura on Instagram, where she uploaded her cover of Aimyon's "Kimi wa Rock o Kikanai".[9] He later checked her YouTube channel, where she uploaded some of her music and covers, and contacted her directly to persuade her to form the duo.[10][11] The duo's name Yoasobi originates from the Japanese word yoasobi (夜遊び), which means "nightlife". Ayase, who came up with the name, explained that is a wish that the two could take on various playful challenges by comparing their individual career to daytime and Yoasobi's career to nighttime.[12] The duo uses the slogan "novel into music" (小説を音楽にする, shōsetsu o ongaku ni suru) to represent themselves.[13] They announced their debut via teaser video on October 1.[14]

The first song released by Yoasobi, "Yoru ni Kakeru", was based on the short story Thanatos no Yūwaku written by Mayo Hoshino, which won the novel contest Monocon 2019.[15] Its accompanying music video was initially uploaded via Ayase's YouTube and Niconico channels on November 16, 2019, before subsequently commercially released the next month on December 15.[16] During the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan, "Yoru ni Kakeru" went viral on social media,[17][10] including the song's The Home Take solo performance by Ikura,[18][19] bringing it to top several music streaming service charts in Japan.[20][21] Five months after its release, the song ascended to number one on both the Oricon Combined Singles Chart[22] and Billboard Japan Hot 100 for the first time.[23] The latter spent a total of six weeks atop the chart[24] of which three weeks were consecutive.[25] "Yoru ni Kakeru" finished 2020 as the year's top Japan Hot 100 song, making it the first-ever non-CD single to top the year-end chart,[26] and was certified diamond for streaming by Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) for exceeding 500 million streams in Japan, becoming the first song in history to do so.[27] The song won the Song of the Year at the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards Japan[28] and the 2021 Space Shower Music Awards,[29] and the Silver Prize at the 2023 JASRAC Awards.[30]

Following their debut single, Yoasobi released "Ano Yume o Nazotte" on January 18, 2020. Like "Yoru ni Kakeru", the song is based on another Monocon 2019-winning short story by Sōta Ishiki, Yume no Shizuku to Hoshi no Hana.[31] The next single, "Halzion", sourced from Shunki Hashizume's Soredemo, Happy End, was released on May 11 as part of Suntory's "Immersive Song Project" to advertise energy drink Zone.[32] It was the duo's first collaboration with a professional novelist, whereas the first two were amateur writers.[33] In the second half of the year, they continually released three more singles. The first, "Tabun", was released on July 20 and based on the short story of the same name by Shinano, which won Yoasobi Contest Vol. 1.[34] Inspired by the manga series Blue Period and sourced from the short story written by the brand's creative team Ao o Mikata ni, "Gunjō", featuring uncredited chorus of Plusonica, was released on September 1. It was used for Bourbon's Alfort Mini Chocolate commercial.[35] It is the duo's second song to be certified diamond for streaming by the RIAJ.[36] On December 18, the duo released the song "Haruka", a collaboration with screenwriter Osamu Suzuki's short story Tsuki Ōji.[37]

On December 31, Yoasobi concluded 2020 at the 71st NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen with the debut performance of "Yoru ni Kakeru" as a duo, along with band members, filmed at Bookshelf Theater, Kadokawa Culture Center in Tokorozawa.[38][39] It made the duo the first artist in 71 years to perform at the TV special without any album release.[40] All previously released singles were featured on the duo's debut EP The Book, released on January 6, 2021.[41] The EP expressed a theme of "reading CD" with binder package,[42] and additionally included "Encore", based on Yoasobi Contest Vol. 1-winning Sekai no Owari to, Sayonara no Uta by Kanami Minakami, and was used for a Google Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a (5G) advertisement.[43] The EP debuted at number two on the Oricon Albums Chart and the Billboard Japan Hot Albums,[44][45] and has sold 150,000 physical and 100,000 digital sales as of 2021, the latter making the EP the only album to reach the milestone that year.[46][47] The Book was certified gold for both physical and digital release by the RIAJ,[48][49] and won Special Award at the CD Shop Awards.[50]

2021: The Book 2[edit]

First announced in late 2020, Yoasobi recorded both the opening and ending themes for the second season of the Japanese anime series Beastars.[51] Its opening theme, "Kaibutsu", was released on January 6, 2021, the same date as the duo's EP The Book,[52] while its ending theme, "Yasashii Suisei", came on the 20th.[53] Both songs were based on Jibun no Mune ni Jibun no Mimi o Oshi Atete and Shishiza Ryūseigun no Mama ni, respectively, written by the anime's writer Paru Itagaki.[54][53] Later, the double A-side CD single of the themes was released on March 24,[55] debuting at number two on the Oricon Singles Chart,[56] making "Kaibutsu" peaking at number two on the Japan Hot 100.[57] "Kaibutsu" won four awards for Song of the Year (Japan) in both download and streaming categories at the 36th Japan Gold Disc Award,[58] and later received the duo's third diamond streaming certification from the RIAJ.[59] The song ranked number five in Time's 10 Best Songs of 2021, the only Japanese act to appear on the list.[60] In support of their debut EP, the duo held their first livestream concert, Keep Out Theater, on February 14 at Shinjuku Milano-za construction site for 40,000 online audiences.[61][62] The duo were radio hosts for All Night Nippon X every Tuesday from March 2021 to 2022.[63]

The song was released next two days after the exhibition had finished.[73] That same month, the duo was chosen as a mascot for the 59th Sendenkaigi Award, an advertising award by Sendenkaigi.[74]

The duo was in charge of a theme for SDGs children's television series Hirogare! Irotoridori,[75] titled "Tsubame", featuring children group Midories. The song was based on Nana Ototsuki's short story Chiisana Tsubame no Ōkina Yume and released on October 25.[76][77] Yoasobi released their second EP, The Book 2, on December 1, 2021, including all singles they released in 2021 alongside "Moshi mo Inochi ga Egaketara",[78] a theme for and based on Suzuki's 2021 stage of the same name, performed in August–September 2021.[79] The EP debuted at number two on the Oricon Albums Chart,[80] and topped the Billboard Japan Hot Albums.[81] It was certified gold for physical release by the RIAJ, selling over 100,000 copies,[82] and won Special Award at the CD Shop Awards.[50] In support of The Book 2, Yoasobi held their first face-to-face one-off concert called Nice to Meet You at Nippon Budokan on December 4–5, receiving 14,000 offline attendees,[83] and starred on an episode of documentary program Jōnetsu Tairiku on December 12.[84] The duo participated in the 72nd NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen on December 31,[85] which they performed "Gunjō" for the main show featuring an orchestra,[86] and "Tsubame" as part of "Colorful Special Segment" with Midories and mascots from Hirogare!

Artistry[edit]

Exile (top) and Taylor Swift (bottom) are Ayase and Ikura's major music influences, respectively.

Yoasobi's musical style has been described as a mix of pop, rock, and electronic music;[177] Tomonori Shiba from Cinra classified their genre as monogatari ongaku (音楽物語, lit. "story music").[178] Ayase was influenced by '80s, '90s music, and K-pop, while Ikura was influenced by Western music like songs from Disney, folk, and country.[10] Ayase named Exile, Sukima Switch, Kobukuro,[179] Radwimps,[11] and Aiko,[10] and Ikura cites Taylor Swift as each major music influence.[180][11] The duo and their music have been compared to other Japanese musical acts such as Yorushika and Zutomayo, which are also known for their Vocaloid roots and animated music videos. The three groups are collectively described by the neologism "Yakōsei" (夜好性, lit. "night-loving scene"), as all of them have the word "夜" (pronounced ya, yo or yoru), which means "night", in their name.[181][182]

Although Yoasobi's songs are based on fictional stories, Ayase interprets and writes their songs reflecting on his feelings and experiences.[183] The duo's songs were usually titled with "straightforward" word, e.g. "Gunjō", "Idol", and "Yūsha",[184] and included Ikura's signature "ah" voice, which both appears in lyrics and not.[185] Described by themselves as having "DIY", "hands-on", and "handmade" styles, when writing music for the duo, Ayase first creates a demo using a digital audio workstation on his laptop with Vocaloid, mostly Hatsune Miku,[183] allowing him to avoid any distortion based on a human vocalist's interpretation, then records Ikura's vocals afterwards.[186] Music director and producer Konnie Aoki usually translates Yoasobi's songs into English.[187] Natsume Sogami from Real Sound described Yoasobi's music as "derivative work" and creating style contrasting to other musicians and songwriters.[184] Pen's Hiroaki Nagahata wrote that the duo's songs "reflect modern motifs, including negative things that no one would dare say in public."[188]
