Artist Profile

• JOSUKE

  JOSUKE is a singer-songwriter whose expressive vocals move between intimate warmth and soaring highs. His voice carries a sense of magic that reaches the heart beyond the boundaries of language. Through metaphor and vivid imagery, his lyrics explore human longing, loneliness, desire, and contradiction, shaping worlds where beauty and danger coexist. Raised in an international school environment, JOSUKE was immersed from an early age in music and cultures from around the world. He began singing and playing electric guitar at fifteen and started writing songs soon after, initially building compositions around chord progressions. After several years as a band vocalist, he launched his solo career in 2018. Long-term training with a vocal coach whose background spans pop, soul, and gospel has shaped his emphasis on resonance, articulation, and emotional precision. His debut single, Yume no Naka de, reached No. 1 on Apple Music's J-Pop chart in France. Kagerou later topped the iTunes J-Pop Top Songs chart in Italy and the Apple Music J-Pop Music Video chart in Russia, while surpassing 930,000 plays in Brazil. Both songs appeared on his 2022 debut album, Beyond The Sin, which reconstructed material originating in his band years through electronic production. Musically, his work moves from intimate restraint to expansive emotional release, combining melodic pop songwriting with atmospheric arrangements and a strong sense of dramatic contrast. After returning to the development of new material in 2024, he gradually shifted toward a more self-directed production process. In 2026, following a year focused on arrangement, sound design, and mixing, he is developing a new body of work while taking a more direct role in shaping its arrangements, production, and final sound.
