The long-awaited third album "3×4×STRIDE" from the Japanese-Western string unit 3×4×S (Sashisu) explores new possibilities while retaining the catchy taste of their previous works. It's a daring endeavor that delves into various genres such as dubstep, trap, metal, and hard rock, seamlessly blending the pinnacle of Japanese performance with the highest level of technique, bringing it into all realms of music. The fusion of Eastern and Western influences has finally reached its apex, making a powerful statement of innovation and conviction on this album.
3x4xS (SASHISU), an unprecedented fusion of Japanese and Western string music where the 3-stringed shamisen and the 4-stringed cello intersect. The shamisen, a representative traditional instrument of Japan, is played by Shamio, a shamisen performer who has appeared on numerous traditional stages while concealing his identity behind a fox mask. He boasts over 350,000 YouTube subscribers. On the other hand, playing the cello is Nubia, a cellist who has studied cello in Japan, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, with numerous domestic and international competition awards. Nubia is also a composer and lyricist who has provided music to many prominent artists. Their slogan is "Bassatsu Jizai" (freely controlling strumming and sliding sounds).
