Artist Profile
lasah × sasakure.UK<lasah>
Born in Kobe, Japan, lasah spent her childhood and adolescence in the bayside area of California, influenced by Japanese literature, games, anime and manga that her grandfather sent to her from Japan. lasah became interested in expressing herself through singing during catholic school, as the hymns that she learned at mass are still in the basis of her music.
lasah retuned to Japan when she was 18, and began uploading VOCALOID cover songs on the internet during her studies at graduate school. She became well-known with the song "NILGIRI" in which she was credited for the vocals.
In 2013, lasah released her first science-fiction novel based concept album "INNOCENCE". Following this highly rated self-produced, she released her second concept album "I LOVE YOU," which made audible the many shapes of love that Japanese modern literature portrayed. She is also vigorously working with other artists as guest vocals and lyricists.
<sasakure.UK>
Born in Fukushima on February 11th, sasakure.UK is an all-round sound producer that writes, composes and arranges.
During his childhood, under the very harsh rule of "One hour of game-playing a day!", sasakure.UK was greatly influenced by 8-bit/16-bit game music. While joining a male chorus in his school days, he met the works of composers, poets and writers such as Makiko Kinoshita, Akira Miyoshi, Shinpei Kusano and Nankichi Niimi and began his own musical activities.
A while after releasing original instrumental music on his own website, he was inspired by VOCALOID vocal synthesizers represented by "Hatsune Miku" and began song-writing. As he uploaded these songs on a video-sharing website, he immediately became famous for his highly literary works.
Like a fable inherited over time, his lyrics that capture various messages are woven into a story; his deep, warm but pop sound is constructed by elaborate, advanced techniques. sasakure.UK has established his one-and-only musicality through the fusion of these two elements.
In addition to producing artwork and videos based on the concept of his works, he produces the band "UK Rampage" which was formed to expand his musical expression, supervises games that uses his music as its motif and more. He is highly acclaimed for his multi-talent, and is continuing to create collaborative works with creators in various genres.
