Meet Yoasobi, Japan’s hottest musical duo who recently performed their first Singapore concert

In fact, Singapore fans “were so passionate” that Ayase, who serves as a composer for the group, might just use that passion as an inspiration for a future song.

He elaborated: “Singapore fans are passionate and have a very deep love towards Yoasobi. There are all sorts of people here who are all passionate towards the same goal. That’s probably something I would infuse into the music if I ever composed a song inspired by Singapore.”

When asked to explain Yoasobi’s charm as musicians, Ayase mused: “There are many charms of Yoasobi, Musically, we can take on different genres of music. We’re free in the sense that we’re not constrained to one type of music.

“Ikura and I are different, in terms of (musical) texture, but the one thing we have in common is our playfulness. We’re playful in how we approach music. We have a deep love for the music and we release songs that we can present to our fans with confidence, that are based on our playfulness.”

Ayase and Ikura ended the session by re-emphasising their love for Singapore fans and their eagerness to perform here again.

“Thank you for all the love you have given us. Thanks to your love, our Singapore concert was possible. We want to return to Singapore, so please continue listening to our music. We’ll continue making great music, so please continue to give us your support,” Ikura said eagerly.

Ayase echoed her sentiments, adding: “I was very happy to the faces of our fans… We do want to come back again, so please listen to our music and perhaps, perform in a bigger venue so that we can meet even more fans in Singapore next time.

It’s safe to say that Yoasobi’s maiden concert in Singapore was a memorable experience for both the group and their fans alike. Given their continuous rise, it seems like Yoasobi’s story has only just begun.
