Artist Profile
the SUGARSTAR is CRYINGAn alternative rock band consisting of Meg Arai (vocals/guitar), Yusuke Tsuruta (bass/vocals), and Masahiro Ibuki (guitar). Meg, a medical doctor who spent her childhood in Japan, Ghana, and the United States, writes the lyrics and composes the music. Rooted in Japanese sensibilities, their songs capture the fleeting beauty of the seasons and quietly carried generational memories - erupting in raw emotional vocals and intense guitar rock. Meg and Yusuke met in 2000 in a music club at a university in Nagoya. Masahiro later joined the band, and the band took its current form. The band's name comes from an episode in which John Lennon sprinkled sugar on straightforward songs to make them easier to listen to.
