Operating on the front lines of YouTube, YOWAME is a two-piece outfit that takes on raw, unscripted questions from their audience. Frontman/rapper Takuro and track maker 812 answer them face-to-face, instantly sublimating the dialogue into 60-second bursts of "instant hip-hop."Now, their very first monthly compilation album, May 2026 Edition, has finally dropped.This 13-track release pulls back the curtain on the gritty reality of the modern music scene. From the cynical nature of the business in "Hierarchy in Bands?" and "Can you make a living off this genre?" to the sharp psychological insights on creators in "Is Tokyo 03's comedy sketch for real?", the album captures lightning in a bottle with real-time, high-octane energy.

Artist Profile

  • YOWAME

    YOWAME is a rap duo that transforms questions sent to the YouTube channel The World Only Bandmen Know into original tracks. They have set an ambitious goal of releasing 150 songs a year, which means dropping a full-length album every single month. They are a completely fresh alternative rap outfit that drags the inconvenient truths of the music industry and the raw, gritty reality of bandmen daily life and finances, secrets long buried by both the Japanese indie and major scenes, right out into the open with sharp, cutting raps and highly addictive riffs. Armed with the lyrical prowess of Takuro (Vo, Rap), whose storytelling talent is so profound his novel was adapted into a movie, and the sonic craft of soundtrack composer 812 (Track Maker), the duo keeps up the fight on their main battleground, YouTube, dropping content every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
