Akasaki (JP)
Saturday, 6 December 2025
Aged just 17 when he started sharing his homemade demos on TikTok, J-Pop artist Akasaki’s rise over the past two years has been nothing short of meteoric. After releasing his debut single ‘Hikikomori’ in April 2024, he followed it up six months later with the ultra-catchy smash hit ‘Bunny Girl’, which has already racked up more than 100 million plays on Spotify and YouTube while making a splash on the Billboard Japan chart. Sure to be one of the buzziest acts at this year’s festival, this is a show no J-Pop fan will want to miss.
以爭取父母支持為契機,高中時期嘅 AKASAKI 從16歲開始以電腦開始唱作,錄製個人作品並喺 TikTok 等社交媒體發表,憑藉出色嘅旋律與詞感瞬速走紅,尤其係佢嘅唱功腔調成熟程度,完全超越我哋對一般中學生嘅想像。
得到主流關注後,AKASAKI 去年四月以〈弾きこもり〉出道,於Spotify錄得1500萬點播嘅出眾成績;再到七月,佢再喺 TikTok 上率先公開〈Bunny Girl〉副歌部分引起熱議,十月正式推出一週後已經登上日本Billboard Hot 100,最高曾經去到第5位,現時已係串流數字破億嘅超人氣名曲。
而 AKASAKI 將音檔、圖、歌詞等開放公眾自由下載使用嘅經營手法,進一步加速佢音樂嘅擴散速度,成為繼 imase 及 natori 後,日系流行樂迷必需要關注嘅新世代唱作歌手。呢位令和唱作新人王將會於今年 Clockenflap 2025 首踏香港舞台,千祈要把握一睹佢現場公演嘅機會!
