Hiroyuki SAWANO｜Total Producer
Born in Tokyo in 1980. Providing music to artists, accompanying dramas, anime, movies, etc.
He is currently active across multiple fields as a prolific composer and music producer.
Since 2014, his vocal project SawanoHiroyuki[nZk] has featured collaborations with a diverse and star-studded lineup of vocalists, including:
Akihito Okano (graffiti), Sukima Switch, Aimer, Jean-Ken Johnny (MAN WITH A MISSION), Aina the End (BiSH), Yuri, Taiiku Okazaki, ASKA, and suis (Yorushika).

Yunoa｜Vocalist
Born in 2003. Growing up, she was immersed in Western music like soul under the influence of her parents, and by her mid-teens, she had set her sights on becoming a singer.
Through her raw and commanding vocals, she gives voice to negative emotions—the struggles of life, the feelings of disappointment and resignation, and the inherent weaknesses and contradictions within us all. She takes the silent screams pervasive in modern society and sublimates them into music.
In March 2024, she released her 1st single, "sadless," marking the launch of her solo career.
In May of the same year, she joined the team project NAQT VANE.
