A wonderful, moving song

A gentle song. A classic that calms the heart. A song that makes you feel kind.

Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.

Kichijoji

KichijojiIkuta Rira

As the vocalist of YOASOBI, ikura showcases her overwhelming singing ability.

This song she released under her real name, Rira Ikuta, was used in a Sokenbicha commercial.

While her captivating vocal skill and expressiveness are as strong as ever, the track has a calmer feel that differs from YOASOBI’s songs.

The lyrics, which look back on past memories, evoke a sense of nostalgia, and even if it’s not Kichijoji, many listeners may have been reminded of a place that holds special memories for them.
