Artist

A music unit pairing voice actress Yuka Otsubo (CEO and vocals) with Vocaloid producer Yuuyu, known for hit songs like Shinkai Shojo (secretary and producer). Their debut single Hanayuki served as the ending theme for the TV anime Hanayamata, dovetailing with Tami Nishimikado, the role Otsubo herself voiced, while their later track Suki wo Oshiete was picked up as the ending theme for Love Tyrant (Renai Boukun). The duo's blend of Vocaloid-flavored speed and anime sensibilities earned them a devoted fanbase.
