Young violinist Lisako Oshima, who is making a strong impression on the Japanese music scene, releases a new EP. Having gained attention through live performances and recording support for various artists, she has also released a cover album featuring music from Studio Ghibli films. This new release, Violin meets Pop, is a collection of pop covers by the versatile artist.

The EP features global hits such as Golden from the Netflix film KPop Demon Hunters, as well as STAY by Justin Bieber and The Kid LAROI, a moving rendition of the song whose expressive violin melody feels as though the original vocals themselves are still being heard. The EP also includes beloved pop songs by Adele, Coldplay, and Kenshi Yonezu that have become major hits around the world.

Violin meets Pop is a collection of catchy pop songs that may sound familiar to many listeners, reimagined through the beautiful interplay of violin and piano. Infused with Lisako Oshima's rich violin tone, each song takes on a fresh character while staying true to the appeal of the original. The EP gently accompanies listeners and brings a little more brightness to everyday life.
