Formed in 2000 after meeting while attending a music school, vach is a male–female duo consisting of vocalist Tomoko Hosono and guitarist Yasushi Sakura.

They officially launched in 2001 with the mini-album “PRESENCE’D,” weaving compelling melodies and harmonies grounded in J-pop.

Although they paused activities for a period due to licensing issues, they resumed production in 2011 and have been performing energetically at clubs and restaurants around Tokyo.

One of their songs—born from thoughts Hosono penned while she was hospitalized—served as the catalyst for their formation, and the music created through their partnership is suffused with a warm atmosphere.

With a meticulous style that values the combination of beautiful melodies and simple tones, they are a recommended unit for those seeking soothing, pleasant music.

An unconventional sibling music unit, “Ura no Ie de Manbou ga Shinderu P.” The duo—composer Takahashi You and his older sister, illustrator Ryugu Tsukasa—has garnered popularity for a unique worldview that blends eccentric titles, unexpected twists, and profound messages.

They began activity on Niconico in July 2009, and their uploads became major hits, surpassing 500,000 views.

In April 2012, they made their major-label debut with the album “My Colorful Confuse.” Their sound, influenced by BUMP OF CHICKEN and the pillows, combined with the seamless creative chemistry only siblings can achieve, captivates music fans and won’t let go.

They are currently on hiatus, but they’re highly recommended for listeners seeking developments that defy expectations and emotionally resonant storytelling.
