■Performing Artists


BiSH
A "punk band without instruments" consisting of Aina the End, Cent Chihiro Chitti, Momoko Gumi Company, Hashiyasume Atsuko, Lin Lin, and Ayana D. Formed in March 2015. They made their indie debut in May 2016, and made their major label debut under avex trax in May 2016. Since then, their high musicality, emotional live performances, and bold promotions have attracted attention, leading to solo shows at Yokohama Arena, Makuhari Messe Exhibition Hall, Osaka-jo Hall, and numerous appearances at large rock festivals. Their segment on "BiSH Addict Comedians" on the popular TV show "Ame Talk!" sparked a huge buzz. On July 8, 2020, they will release their first greatest hits album, "FOR LiVE -BiSH BEST-," which aims to support live music venues and CD shops, followed by their major label 3.5 album, "LETTERS," on July 22.



Okamoto Reiji (OKAMOTO'S)
Born in 1991 in Tokyo. Drummer for OKAMOTO'S, a four-piece rock band formed by fellow junior high school classmates.
He made his CD debut in 2010. At the time of his debut, he was playing an average of over 100 live shows a year and was also active overseas. Utilizing his wide-ranging musical background, he is also active as a DJ. He is also a fashion model, produces music videos, and has organized his own exhibitions, leading the modern cultural scene with his cross-genre activities. Starting in April, they embarked on a nationwide tour, "OKAMOTO'S 10th ANNIVERSARY LIVE TOUR 2019 "BOY", and on Thursday, June 27th, they held their "first and last" solo concert at Nippon Budokan. On April 15th, 2020, they released their first greatest hits album, "10'S BEST", and continue to work energetically at an ever-increasing pace.



NINJAS
“We like what you don't like.”
With the slogan "We like what you don't like," they spread their strange music wherever they go, including live houses, clubs and galleries. They have captivated some music fans with a sound that is not only not influenced by the times but actually goes against them. Up-and-coming Japanese artists have been involved in the artwork and music videos, which have also attracted attention. Some call it punk, others call it new wave, but it's irrelevant to them.

SUPER DOMMUNE
Naohiro Ukawa, a prominent presence in the contemporary Japanese art scene, opened Japan's first live streaming studio, DOMMUNE, in 2010 as a new cultural hub for the social stream era, following the now globally legendary Mixrooffice (2006-2008). It suddenly appeared as the "final media" at the dawn of social media. Among the profusion of live streaming programs, it boasts unparalleled program quality and viewership. Since its launch, it has continued to exist as a unique cultural platform, hosting appearances by various guests from around the world whenever they visit Japan. In November 2019, it opened as an evolved version, "SUPER DOMMUNE," on the 9th floor of Shibuya PARCO.
