Machitoki BakuMachitoki Baku
Machitoki Baku is a musician and artist from Aichi, Japan. Born in 2006, right-handed, blood type AB.
Founder of IRO-MONO COLLECTIVE.
In early childhood, encountering Pyotr Tchaikovskys The Nutcracker in piano lessons sparked an interest in music creation, while the Vocaloid culture discovered around the same time left a profound influence.
At age 15, he began producing music using DTM.
A self produced artist who handles nearly every stage of creation himself including songwriting, composition, arrangement, production, artwork, and video direction.
With music as the core, his activities extend into visual expression, including fashion and illustration.
From 2022 to 2025, he released works online under multiple aliases.
While achieving iTunes chart rankings and gaining support from overseas listeners, he struggled between creative work and interpersonal relationships, ultimately experiencing a hiatus and retirement.
He collectively refers to this period as his Phase 0.
In 2026, with the aim of reconstructing his artistic expression, he resumed Vocaloid production under the names garakuta kuraku, se27, a. (a-dot), CULT P,and the experimental project YUI NE).
At the same time, he redefined singing with his own voice as the origin of his expression and formally launched his solo artist activities under the name Machitoki Baku.
Amid the sensation of his identity dispersing through creation under multiple aliases, what he ultimately arrived at was the act of singing himself.
Machitoki Baku stands at the center of all these activities, embodying the core of his expression the greatest common denominator of himself.
Rooted in pop, electronic, hip-hop, R&B, and jazz, while also drawing from digicore, kawaii future bass, Vocaloid, experimental, punk, and scum music, and shaped by experiences of visiting multiple countries from an early age, his sound is characterized by a fusion of foreign atmospheres and strong introspection.
Through boundary-free creation unconstrained by genre or form, he continues to pursue music that only Machitoki Baku can create.
