Ayase × R-Shitei

Artist

Ayase × R-Shitei is a collaboration moniker between Ayase, the composer of YOASOBI, and R-Shitei, the rapper of the hip hop unit Creepy Nuts. This cross-genre duo pairs Ayase, who rose to prominence as a Vocaloid producer and leads the pop scene, with R-Shitei, known for his MC battle achievements and advanced lyricism. The collaboration was realized after works like Creepy Nuts × Ayase × Rira Ikuta's "Bakamajime." For "Hiten," the opening theme of the TV anime "Rurouni Kenshin," Ayase composed the music while both co-wrote the lyrics, delivering a driving, high-speed number.
