Masashi Iino

Artist

Masashi Iino is a Japanese male singer-songwriter who handles his own lyrics, composition, arrangement and singing. He is cherished for a simple, warm sound centered on acoustic guitar and an unadorned voice, and he has produced many anime tie-up songs. For the anime 'PAPUWA', based on Ami Shibata's popular gag manga, he handled the ending theme 'Yurari Yurari'. Fit to wrap up this lively adventure drama, he crafted it into a relaxed, gentle folk-pop number and quietly depicted the characters' sense of everyday life and a somehow nostalgic aftertaste. Forming a pair with the high-speed opening, this tranquil song richly colors the world of the series.
