illiomote

A duo consisting of YOCO (vocals, guitar) and MAIYA (guitar, sampler), who have been childhood friends since kindergarten. Based in Ikebukuro, they handle everything from songwriting to track making themselves. In March 2019, their song "In your Tsurezure," uploaded to YouTube, suddenly became a hot topic due to its NEO musical sense, which mixes rock, pop, and roots music, and the music video that projected their HAPPY vibes. Even before the song's release, it was picked up by culture magazines and web media such as "POPEYE" and "BRUTUS." They released their 1st EP "SLEEP ASLEEP..." in 2020, and their 2nd EP "Teen Trip Into The Future" on February 3, 2021. In July 2022, they released their 3rd EP "side_effects+."
