Earlier we reported that 16-year-old visual kei artist YOHIO will be
making his solo debut from Universal International’s new label,
Thunderball 667, on April 25th with his first mini-album, ‘REACH the
SKY’.
Born into a family of musicians, YOHIO started to gain respect for Japanese culture after being introduced to anime. In 2009, when he was just 14-years-old, he formed a visual kei band called Seremedy. They held their first tour in Japan last year, and also participated in the ‘V-ROCK FESTIVAL ‘11‘ as the opening act.
Since his solo debut was announced, YOHIO has appeared on the variety tv show ‘Waratte Iitomo!‘, and was also reported on various information programs and magazines.
According to Universal International’s Shiokawa Naoki, their main target is “V-Rock fans and people who like Western hits”. He explained, “For V-Rock fans, visual kei magazines and specialty stores. As such, we will make plans for hardcore fans. On the other hand, for Western music fans, we will have promotions for this music that has potential to be appealing.”
During his album release week, YOHIO will hold a special release event in Tokyo with visual kei band Duel Jewel as the supporting act.
