They have been active since January 2021, and are currently based in Osaka. Their energetic releases and the high quality of their music make us feel that they will make a great leap forward in the Japanese pop music scene.
This time, CRJAFUKUOKA asked them to answer three questions about their new album, which reached No. 1 on the College Chart on October 31!
◇Three questions
When and why did you start your music career?
Dyna: I started playing music in the second year of junior high school.
Dyna: I started playing music in the second year of junior high school (because of my father's influence). The first thing I bought was a bass guitar.
Zen: When I was in the first year of junior high school, I heard Feist's "Feel it all" and wanted to start playing the guitar.
Peggy: I started playing the guitar when I was a freshman in high school, and I wrote my first song (lyrics and music) when I was a senior in high school. When I was in junior high school, I discovered black music on Youtube and that's when I started to get into music.
Please tell us about some of the artists who have influenced you.
Dyna: Red Hot Chillipeppers is the one who gave me the desire to explore music, and Ryuichi Sakamoto is the one who influenced me in film music.
Zen: My current influences are "YvesTumor" and "King Krule".
Peggy：”Marvin Gaye” and ”Rex Orange County”。
Please tell us what we should pay attention to in the charting song "Wrong with u".
I didn't use a single instrument to create a one-loop chord progression, but sampled the piano and Peggy Doll's voice as part of the chords, and I imagined a track that I've never heard before.
It's also the only song on the current release that has Japanese in it, lol.
I also want you to pay attention to the floating break before the last chorus.
The lyrics were written by Peggy and Zen together in a coffee shop, and the theme of the song is focused on "the uncomfortable feeling of the moment when the subjective feelings and the overhead feelings are not linked". We also use lyrics of our favorite artists as references.

◇Profile
Bass, Dyna, leader from Saipan Island
Guitar/Vocal, Peggy Doll from Sakai City, Osaka
And Guitar/Vocal, Zen from Sydney, Australia.
The lyrics are a mixture of Japanese and English, and the two vocal styles are very different.
A sound that retains an analogue feel, but with a touch of newness.
Dyna's tracks are sad and fun at the same time, and Zen's voice is both melancholy and beautiful.
Zen, who has a unique voice that is both melancholy and beautiful, and Peggy Doll, who is gaining recognition for her extraordinary melodic sense and singing voice, make up the three-person unit "ego apartment.
