Yoasobi [A] is a Japanese musical duo formed in 2019. It consists of songwriter and producer Ayase and vocalist Lilas Ikuta, under the moniker Ikura. Represented by the slogan "novel into music", the duo's narrative-driven songs are originally based on selected fictional stories posted on Monogatary.com, a social media for creative writing and illustration operated by Sony Music Entertainment Japan. Later, sources also come from various media, such as fiction written by professional authors, books, letters, messages, plays, and social media posts. Known for fast pace and complex structure, their music has been characterized as a blend of J-pop and Vocaloid music.

Rising to prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan, Yoasobi's debut single, "Yoru ni Kakeru", spent six non-consecutive weeks atop Billboard Japan Hot 100 and topped its 2020 year-end chart, the first ever non-CD single to do so, as well as receiving the first ever diamond and double diamond certifications for streaming figure from the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ). Three other songs were also certified diamonds: Blue Period -inspired "Gunjō" and anime series openers Beastars 's "Kaibutsu" and Oshi no Ko 's "Idol"; the latter set the record for the longest-running number one on the Japan Hot 100 history with 22 non-consecutive weeks, and the first Japanese act to top the Billboard Global Excl. US, as well as the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI)'s 19th best-selling song globally in 2023. With these successes, the duo was dubbed as a representative of J-pop of the 2020s and the Reiwa era.

Yoasobi's first three EPs explore the theme of "reading CD": The Book , The Book 2 (2021), and The Book 3 (2023), all of which peaked at number two on the Oricon Albums Chart. The duo entered the English-language market with their songs translated into English and collected in the EPs E-Side (2021), E-Side 2 (2022), and E-Side 3 (2024). Furthermore, the duo collaborated with four Naoki Prize-winning novelists—Rio Shimamoto, Mizuki Tsujimura, Miyuki Miyabe, and Eto Mori—to publish the short story collection book Hajimete no , and performed songs based on each story. Yoasobi has received many accolades, including CD Shop Awards, Japan Gold Disc Awards, Japan Record Awards, MTV Video Music Awards Japan, Music Awards Japan, Reiwa Anisong Awards, and Space Shower Music Awards.

Name

The duo's name, Yoasobi, originates from the Japanese word yoasobi ( 夜遊び ), meaning "nightlife". Ayase, who came up with the name, explained that it is a wish that he and Ikura could take on various playful challenges by comparing their individual career to daytime and Yoasobi's career to nighttime. [1] [2] The duo represents themselves by the slogan "novel into music" [3] (Japanese: 小説を音楽にするユニット, Hepburn: shōsetsu o ongaku ni suru yunitto; lit. 'The unit turns novel into music'). [4] With this slogan, if the song they performed is not based on a fictional story, they are not credited under Yoasobi, but separately under their individual names (Ayase and Lilas Ikuta). [5] The official fanclub is called Yoa's (prononuced yours), which officially changed from Club Yoasobi (CLUB 夜遊) in October 2025. [6] [7]

History

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

Both members of Yoasobi had active music careers before the formation. Ayase was a vocalist of rock band Davinci, which was active from 2012 to 2018 and eventually disbanded in 2020. [8] He began using Vocaloid software Hatsune Miku to produce music during his treatment at hospital due to peptic ulcer disease. He uploaded his first song, titled "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. [9] [10] Lilas Ikuta, who later adopted the stage name Ikura for Yoasobi, is a singer-songwriter and a former member of the cover group Plusonica (2017–2021). [11] She started her music career by performing on the streets and small venues with a guitar at the age of 14, as well as uploading her music and covers on YouTube. [12] In 2016, she participated in a new artist training course, called the Lesson, sponsored by Sony Music Entertainment Japan, and released her demo CD 15 no Omoi. [13] Later, Ikuta released her first two EPs: Rerise (2018) and Jukebox (2019) through independent label After School. [14] [15]

In 2019, Yohei Yashiro, a founder of Monogatary.com, a social media for creative writing and illustration owned by SMEJ, presented the idea of project to produce songs inspired by selected story submissions published on the website as a prize to authors instead of book or anime adaptation, which not all were successful. Yashiro enlisted Shuya Yamamoto, who handled SMEJ's artists at that time, shortly after their first meeting at a party. [17] In the mid-year, Ayase received an offer from Yashiro and Yamamoto to produce songs for the project. [18] During the vocalist discussion, Ayase found Aimyon's "Kimi wa Rock o Kikanai" covered by Ikura on Instagram. [19] He later checked her YouTube channel and contacted her directly to persuade her to form Yoasobi. [20] [21] The duo announced their debut via teaser video on October 1, and marked as their anniversary. [22] The first song by the duo, "Yoru ni Kakeru", was based on the short story Thanatos no Yūwaku written by Mayo Hoshino, which won Sony Music Award at the novel contest Monocon 2019. [23] Its music video was initially uploaded via Ayase's YouTube and Niconico channels on November 16, 2019, which accrued one million views within one month. [24] The song was subsequently released to digital music and streaming platforms the next month, on December 15, [25] independently from SMEJ's label under eponymous personal label and distributed by the Orchard. [26] [27]

Yoasobi was originally planned for making a few songs as a trial run. [28] However, during the beginning of COVID-19 pandemic in Japan in early 2020, "Yoru ni Kakeru" went viral on social media, [29] [20] including The Home Take solo performance by Ikura, [30] [31] bringing it to top several music streaming service charts in Japan. [32] [33] The song first entered the Billboard Japan Hot 100 at number 76 in March, [34] and ascended to number one for the first time in May, five months after its release. [35] The latter spent a total of six weeks atop the chart, [36] of which three weeks were consecutive. [37] The song also topped the Oricon Combined Singles Chart. [38] Eventually, "Yoru ni Kakeru" finished 2020 as the year's number-one Japan Hot 100 song, making it the first-ever single with no physical release to top the year-end chart. [39] The Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) certified the song diamond for exceeding 500 million streams in 2021 [40] and double diamond for 1 billion streams in 2025, becoming the first-ever song in history to achieve these milestones. [41] The song won the Song of the Year at the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards Japan [42] and the 2021 Space Shower Music Awards, [43] and the Silver Prize at the 2023 JASRAC Awards. [44]

[216] Ikura cites Taylor Swift as her major musical influences. [220] [21] [221] The others include Arashi, Ikimonogakari, Radwimps, and Yui. [216]

Musical styles

Yoasobi's musical style combines elements of pop, rock, and electronic, [222] with Vocaloid root. [223] [224] More specifically, the duo's genre has been categorized as pop rock, [225] synth-pop, [226] electropop, [227] and electronic rock; Billboard Japan noted that the latter genre is the current direction Yoasobi has taken, as they emphasize on live performances. [228] In the Associated Press interview in September 2024, Ayase explained their transcending music genre: "We think that Yoasobi is its own genre. There's no specific genre they're going after we're going after. We're definitely influenced by J-pop in general." [229] The Asahi Shimbun described that the duo's songs contains "complex structures with shifting rhythms and key changes", and "catchy melodies and memorable hooks", and Ikura's vocals "effortlessly clear[ing] high notes and sails through rapid-fire lyrics in time with their tempos, even showing off some playful rap [...]." [230] Grammy called their music "fast-paced, hard-hitting electronic sounds," [231] and Billboard "unmistakable pop". [232]

The duo, their music, and their visuals 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. [233] These three groups are collectively described by the meme, Internet culture, and neologistic genre called "Yakōsei" (夜好性; lit. 'night-loving scene'), [234] as all of them have the word " 夜 " (read ya, yo, yoru, etc. depend on words), meaning "night" in their name, [235] and express a "quiet nighttime" feeling, which surged in popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic. [236] Writing for Brutus , critic Suzie Suzuki dubbed the duo' music "a Reiwa-like appearance and a Shōwa-like inner self", citing frequent uses of F–G–Em–Am chord progression. [237] Furthurmore, Yoasobi often titled their songs with "straightforward" word, e.g. "Gunjō", "Idol", and "Yūsha", [238] as "the best words to describe the music, not the story itself." [219] Ikura's signature "ah" vocable also frequently appears on the duo's songs, both in lyrics and not. [239]

Songwriting

Unlike other singers and songwriters, Yoasobi's songs are narrative-driven lyrics, [224] mostly based on fictional stories submitted by general public on Monogatary.com, or written by professional novelist or manga artist, [240] [241] [242] while some are non-fiction, such as letter for "Loveletter", [243] messages, essays, and videos for "Heart Beat", [244] and social media posts for "Players". [245] Music critic Tomonori Shiba classified their genre as "story music" (物語音楽, monogatari ongaku). [246] Hiroaki Nagahata from Pen magazine wrote that the duo's songs "reflect modern motifs, including negative things that no one would dare say in public." [247] Music director and producer Konnie Aoki is in charge of translating most Yoasobi's songs into English. His word choices maintain sound structure and the rhythm of the original Japanese lyrics. [248] [224] [249]

Before Yoasobi's song process, Ayase repeatedly reads the story to understand the content and chooses suitable sound and melody. [250] He interprets and writes the songs that reflects on his feelings and experiences as they relate to the story. [251] Ikura sings them on the perspective of the protagonist, storyteller, or narrator of the story, not from herself. [252] Described as "DIY", "hands-on", and "handmade" production styles, Ayase writes songs for the duo by creating a demo on digital audio workstation software Logic Pro on his laptop with Vocaloid software, mostly Hatsune Miku, and rarely used real musical instruments, allowing him to avoid any distortion based on a human vocalist's interpretation. [252] [231] After receiving the demo, Ikura writes her first impression on the lyrics first and chooses her best method to sing before recording her actual vocals. [252] Real Sound 's Natsume Sogami described the duo's music as a "derivative work", which creates styles contrasting to other musicians and songwriters. [238]

[265] Sportswear brand Asics partnered with Yoasobi for pop-up gallery Just a Little Step at Rayard Miyashita Park from November 1 to 10, and scheduled to launch collaborative products later. [266] In April 2025, the duo was appointed as the brand ambassador for cosmetics brand Shu Uemura, [267] and starred on the smartphone Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra commercial, portraying themselves being filming on the stage. [268] [269] Also in 2025, the duo collaborated with PlayStation and F. C.
