GoingCTS
This is a masked Japanese three-member electronic dance pop unit consisting of Circle on vocals, Triangle on synthesizer, and Square as the DJ, all wearing special masks equipped with LEDs.
They initially released music on an independent label, but in September 2013 they moved to Universal Music’s Delicious Deli Records.
This song was released in November 2018.

Young NightsKSUKE
While performing worldwide from major festivals across the globe to nightclubs, producer and DJ KSUKE—who also draws attention as DJ DANGER×DEER (DJ / KSUKE) from Coronamonamoremomo (Maximum the Hormone No.
2)—delivered a flagship track in 2019.
Amid the buzz surrounding the announcement of his first appearance as DJ DANGER×DEER (DJ / KSUKE) at ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL 2019, the song was also selected as the CM track for ULTRA JAPAN 2019.
SPICE feat.FARMHOUSE (SUSHIBOYS)PARKGOLF
A cutting-edge producer who has been drawing attention in that scene since 2015, producing tracks for artists like Sakura Yura, Uchu Amagawa, and DAOKO.
His track “Kiss Me,” released on Osaka label Day Tripper Records led by Seiho as their first digital release, impressively reached No.
1 on the iTunes Electronic chart.
The song was released in July 2019.
It’s a much-talked-about work that puts hip-hop—his roots, including influences like KREVA—front and center!
CUT IT UPPKCZ® ft. CL & Afrojack
A creative unit from LDH led by producers EXILE’s HIRO, MAKIDAI, m-flo’s VERBAL, and former DEXPISTOLS member DJ DARUMA—PKCZ—teams up with CL, the rapper from K-pop group 2NE1, and the ever-familiar EDM titan, Afrojack, for this track.
With themes like samurai, ninja, and swords, it feels distinctly crafted more for an international audience than a domestic one.
Dance-pop from Japan that stands strong on the global stage!
Just Used Music AgainRHYME SO
A unit consisting of MONDO GROSSO’s Shinichi Osawa—whose sudden announcement in September 2019 drew widespread attention—and RHYME, who is active as a DJ, singer-songwriter, and model.
In 2019, they released music via the globally acclaimed label 88rising.
In the fast-changing world of dance music, their sound leans nostalgic with a filter-house feel, yet by reinventing how it’s presented and heard, it comes across as remarkably fresh.
It’s said that several messages are hidden within the work.
A mysterious track with a hint of melancholy.
I Feel Tired EverydaySeiho
A ravey yet somewhat wistful house track from Seiho, a cutting-edge artist from Osaka, released in February 2019.
Having digested a wide range of genres and left behind numerous sounds that defined their times, the sound he put forward in 2019 carried a calm mood reminiscent of deep house.
As tech house and deep house continue to gain recognition worldwide, I believe he’ll be quick to bring them into the pop scene as well.
His past work has been highly acclaimed, including producing music for a Mercedes-Benz commercial and for Daichi Miura.

RainmanSerph, DE DE MOUSE
A solo project by a man who continues to be active based in Tokyo.
He has performed live at venues such as LIQUIDROOM in Tokyo and has achieved great success.
Though he remains shrouded in mystery, his greatest appeal is, above all, his beautiful melodies.
On this track, a collaboration with the veteran DE DE MOUSE makes it even catchier.
With its uniquely chopped vocal textures, it also gives a more modern pop impression.
