HARU NEMURI has always made music for herself first, but now the world is listening—even if they don’t understand a word she sings, raps, and screams. Rooted in punk and riot grrrl ethos, her music is anthemic, frantic, and poetic, channeling fire as both destruction and renewal—like a phoenix reborn or the first blooms of spring. Drawing from influences like Fugazi, Björk, and Susumu Hirasawa, she fuses J-pop, rap, experimental, and hardcore into a fearless, genre-defying sound. Her critically acclaimed album SHUNKA RYOUGEN received an 8.0 rating from Pitchfork and was praised by The Fader and Paste Magazine as “a convincing balance of nihilism and hope.” Her 2018 debut album Haru to Shura received global acclaim, ranking among the best on major U.S. music sites. During the pandemic, she performed at SXSW Online, Midem, and Live on KEXP. In 2022, she completed her first sold-out North American tour, appeared on Audiotree Live, and joined Pussy Riot’s SXSW set as a guest vocalist. Known for her mesmerizing performances, Haru commands the stage with untamed energy and surreal imagery, leaving audiences unable to look away. While going on another 30-city world tour, her Washington, D.C. show went viral when Fugazi’s Ian MacKaye attended, further cementing her reputation as a boundary-pushing force in modern music. In 2023, she was selected for Spotify’s RADAR: Early Noise, performed at SUMMER SONIC, and released INSAINT, an all-band-recorded EP. She headlined tours across the U.K., Europe, and Thailand and was named to Forbes Japan's 30 Under 30. In 2024, HARU NEMURI headlined tours in New Zealand, Australia, and the U.S. She also collaborated with New York duo Frost Children on the EP Soul Kiss and Thai artist Pyra on Don’t Make Love Vow. In 2025, she recently released naughty Al, exploring AI and femininity, continuing to push artistic and conceptual boundaries. 

Existential pop artist AIKO TOMI serves equal parts play, chaos, and the things we don’t say. Her writing carries the bite, humor, and vulnerability of a hyperactive, weird Asian brat glowing up. Blending feminine power with childlike mischief, she flips insults into mantras, fruit into flexes, and everyday moments into pop spectacle, crafting songs that are unfiltered, unforgettable, and never easy to pin down. Everything Sparks Joy, her sophomore album, is a nine-track odyssey that feels like a sugar rush at the end of the world: messy, euphoric, hilarious, and unhinged enough to make you double-take. Sonically, she has been described as having Shygirl’s club edge, Yaeji’s glitchy intimacy, and Björk’s avant-theatrical scope. On stage she performs as if “possessed,” in shows that feel like a dance party colliding with an inner monologue and fever dream. Nothing is off-limits: kissing a 70-pound boa before dropping into a full squat with it draped over her body, staging an “Alien vs. Sumo” showdown, or scaling a 15-ton stone lion — all mid-song. With fearless stagecraft and sharp songwriting, AIKO TOMI is creating a magnetic space for the romantically hopeful, culturally split, and radically self-defined.
