https://mf.awa.fm/open_bmsgallstars_0918_pr ■Aile The Shota Debuted on the BMSG label in January 2022 with “AURORA TOKIO.” Songs produced with Shin Sakiura, A.G.O, tofubeats, Soulflex, Ryosuke “Dr.R” Sakai, and others have reached number one on various streaming sites and received heavy rotation in various media outlets. He’s also garnered attention from artists and producers such as Kalassy Nikoff, MATZ, and GANMI, and with over 20 songs to his name, his momentum shows no signs of slowing down. In addition, their live performances, filled with the euphoria of music, have earned them a high reputation. Tickets for their first nationwide tour in 2023 sold out, and they have been confirmed to appear at a number of large-scale festivals. Furthermore, they organize events every year in order to lead the new generation of music and dance culture scenes. With the four EPs he has released so far, he sees the prologue of his career as complete, and has declared that he will begin his first chapter by releasing his first album and holding a solo concert at Tokyo Garden Theater in 2025, thereby becoming the next generation of J-POP STAR. He captivates listeners with his silky voice that blends seamlessly into the music, lyrics crafted with discerning aesthetics, and melodies drawn with a sense of intuition. With roots in dance and a penchant for black music, he possesses a rare musicality that also has a strong affinity with J-POP. He is an artist whose “existence is genre” and “existence is music.” ■What is the AWA Lounge? AWA Lounge is an online space where users can share music and interact with each other in real time. Users in the same room can enjoy an online karaoke-like experience using the “song request,” “chat,” and “stamp” features. All features are available even with the Free plan. Another major feature of the Lounge is that all users in the room listen to the same music simultaneously, making it a great way to “support” your favorite artists and increase their play counts. Joining the Lounge as a STANDARD member will give even more back to the artists. ■App overview “AWA” is a
