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 certification for streaming from the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ). Besides "Yoru ni Kakeru", three other songs were also certified diamonds: Blue Period-inspired "Gunjō" and opening themes for anime Beastars "Kaibutsu" and Oshi no Ko "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.

Name

edit

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.[1] To represent themselves, Yoasobi uses the slogan "novel into music" (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').[2]

History

edit

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

edit

Both members of Yoasobi had active music careers before Yoasobi formation. Ayase was a vocalist of rock band Davinci which was active between 2012 and 2018 and disbanded 2020.[3] 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, "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.[4][5] Lilas Ikuta, who later adopted the stage name Ikura for Yoasobi, is a singer-songwriter and a then member of the cover group Plusonica from 2017 to 2021.[6] 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.[7] Later, Ikuta released her first two EPs: Rerise (2018) and Jukebox (2019) through independent record label After School.[8][9]

 
Yoasobi's hero image

In 2019, Yohei Yashiro, a founder of Monogatary.com, a social media for creative writing 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.[10] In the mid-year, Ayase received an offer from Yashiro and Yamamoto to produce songs for the project.[11] During the discussion about vocalists, Ayase found Ikura from her cover of Aimyon's "Kimi wa Rock o Kikanai" on Instagram.[12] 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.[13][14] Yoasobi announced their debut via teaser video on October 1, and marked as their anniversary.[15]

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.[16] 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.[17] The songs was subsequently commercially released the next month on December 15.[18] During the beginning of COVID-19 pandemic in Japan, "Yoru ni Kakeru" went viral on social media,[19][13] including the song's The Home Take solo performance by Ikura,[20][21] bringing it to top several music streaming service charts in Japan.[22][23] Five months after its release, the song ascended to number one on both the Oricon Combined Singles Chart[24] and Billboard Japan Hot 100 for the first time.[25] The latter spent a total of six weeks atop the chart[26] of which three weeks were consecutive.[27] "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,[28] 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.[29] The song won the Song of the Year at the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards Japan[30] and the 2021 Space Shower Music Awards,[31] and the Silver Prize at the 2023 JASRAC Awards.[32]

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.[33] 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.[34] It was the duo's first collaboration with a professional novelist, whereas the first two were amateur writers.[35] 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.[36] 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.[37] On December 18, the duo released the song "Haruka", a collaboration with screenwriter Osamu Suzuki's short story Tsuki Ōji.[38]

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.[178] The Asahi Shimbun described their songs contain "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 [...]."[179] Ayase was influenced by '80s, '90s music, and K-pop, while Ikura was influenced by Western music like songs from Disney, folk, and country.[13] Ayase named Aiko, Exile,[13] Post Malone,[180] and rock bands: Sukima Switch, Kobukuro,[181] Radwimps,[14] Maximum the Hormone, Coldrain, Crossfaith, SiM, Slipknot, and Bring Me the Horizon;[182] and Ikura cites Taylor Swift as each major music influence.[183][14]

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. These three groups are collectively described by the neologistic genre "Yakōsei" (夜好性, lit. 'night-loving scene'), as all of them have the word "夜" (pronounced ya, yo or yoru depend on word), which means "night", in their name.[184][185] Furthurmore, Yoasobi's songs were often entitled with "straightforward" word, e.g. "Gunjō", "Idol", and "Yūsha",[186] as "the best words to describe that music, not the story itself,"[180] and included Ikura's signature "ah" vocable, appearing both in lyrics and not.[187] Music director and producer Konnie Aoki is usually in charge of translating Yoasobi's songs into English, which he uses word choices that maintained the rhythm of the original Japanese lyrics.[188][189]

Unlike other singers, Yoasobi's songs are based on short stories, later expanding to novels, books, letters, and plays, etc.; Music critic Tomonori Shiba classified their genre as "story music" (物語音楽, monogatari ongaku).[190] Ayase interprets and writes Yoasobi's songs reflecting on his feelings and experiences. Described by themselves as having "DIY", "hands-on", and "handmade" styles, when writing music for the duo, Ayase first creates a demo by using digital audio workstation Logic Pro on his laptop with Vocaloid software, mostly Hatsune Miku, allowing him to avoid any distortion based on a human vocalist's interpretation, then records Ikura's vocals afterwards.[191][192] Writing for Real Sound, Natsume Sogami described Yoasobi's music as "derivative work", which creates style contrasting to other musicians and songwriters.[186] Pen's Hiroaki Nagahata wrote that the duo's songs "reflect modern motifs, including negative things that no one would dare say in public."[193] Media outlets praised them as a pioneer and representative of 2020s J-pop scene.[194][195]
