#MUSIC

Music, fashion, and mindset are all influenced by gal culture.

Celeina: Where do you take your inspiration from?

Aisho: I realized the other day that it comes from the gal culture of the Heisei era. I have been a yamamba (gal) since junior high school and was in a gyaru-sa, and that is where I got a lot of my inspiration. I was very much influenced by the music, fashion, and mindset.

Celeina:The music and worldview that Aisho creates is a mix of Japanese gal culture of the Heisei era and what he gained when he moved to Australia, and the Aisho world is expanding. At this point, don’t you want to hear Aisho’s music?

Takano: I want to listen to it!

Celeina: Please start by introducing your song.

Aisho: I collaborated with a beat maker named Yohji Igarashi on a song called “LUNA,” which comes from my alternate ego “Lunatic,” which was released in 2022. Please listen to it.
