Artist Profile

• 102

  A singer-songwriter and designer from Hokkaido, Japan. He is also the Dee Jay of the music group RED JAPES (currently on hiatus). As the first release of his solo project, 102 launched Kakegae no Nai Takaramono on November 1, 2010. The song originated from the documentary program FLY TO THE MUSIC for JAL, which aired on JAL in-flight entertainment throughout September 2010. The project brought together 102, representing Hokkaido, the northernmost region of Japan, and NEWMAN from Okinawa, the southernmost region. Inspired by the natural beauty and friendships of their respective hometowns, the collaboration became a work that connected the north and south of Japan. For the second phase of the 102 Project, he produced and created the riddims for the album Magic Flower. Featuring talented artists from across Hokkaido, the album showcases a diverse range of unique microphone performances. On April 10, 2013, he released his first digital single, Start Line. Later that year, he released the party anthem HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! on July 10, followed by his first full-length album, UNO READY?, on July 24. Three tracks from the album were subsequently made available on JOYSOUND karaoke. On October 1, 2014, he digitally released keep feat. Irina, a song expressing his deep love for music. In 2016, he continued his momentum with the releases of Sayonara Matana Last Summer and Haneagare feat. Aritack & Massaro. Beyond music, he also operates his own apparel brand 6SENSE and the collaborative brand MAKIBISHI69. His annual flagship event, Happening Summit, was held in Sapporo, Hokkaido, for 16 consecutive years, culminating at Zepp Sapporo in 2014. Currently, he intermittently hosts Natural High School, commonly known as Nachisuku, in Tokyo and other regions throughout Japan. On September 16, 2018, he released his first mini-album in five years, SIX SENSE. The project was built around the theme of returning to his roots while embracing new challenges for the future. From July through November 2019, he successfully completed his first nationwide five-city tour, Natural High School - JAPAN TOUR 2019 - Energy. On September 4, 2019, he released Ai Walk, a song inspired by his own life and written from personal experiences. On September 30, 2023, after a four-year hiatus from releases, he returned with a triple A-side single featuring Oretachi no Shima, (Wo) Utau Yo, and NATURAL BLACK feat. Yuichin, Aritack, mckj, and Shishimaru. The long-awaited revival of Natural High School was also a major success, drawing renewed attention to his future activities and artistic growth.
