After going viral on social media, Yoasobi's debut single, "Yoru ni Kakeru", gave them their breakthrough by topping the Billboard Japan Hot 100 for six non-consecutive weeks and the 2020 year-end chart, as well as becoming the first song in Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) history to be certified diamond for streaming. It was followed by several successful singles, such as Blue Period-inspired "Gunjō", and anime series themes "Kaibutsu" and "Yasashii Suisei" for Beastars (2021), "Shukufuku" for Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury (2022), "Idol" for Oshi no Ko (2023), and "Yūsha" for Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (2023); "Idol" topped the Japan Hot 100 for 21 consecutive weeks, the longest-running number one, and the Billboard Global Excl. US, the first Japanese act to do so.
Yoasobi released three Japanese-language EPs: The Book, The Book 2 (both 2021), and The Book 3 (2023), which all peaked at number two on the Oricon Albums Chart; and two English-language EPs E-Side (2021) and E-Side 2 (2022). Beyond their discography, the duo collaborated with four Naoki Prize-winning novelists—Rio Shimamoto, Mizuki Tsujimura, Miyuki Miyabe, and Eto Mori—to publish short story collection Hajimete no in 2022, and performed the songs based on each story. Yoasobi has earned several accolades, including five Japan Gold Disc Awards, three Space Shower Music Awards, four MTV Video Music Awards Japan, two CD Shop Awards, a Japan Record Award, and a Noma Publishing Culture Award, among others.
History
2019–2021: Formation, "Yoru ni Kakeru" and The Book

Both members of Yoasobi had active music careers before forming the duo. Ayase, a record producer, songwriter, and then vocalist of rock band Davinci (2012–2020),[1] began using Vocaloid software Hatsune Miku to produce music and uploaded his first song, "Sentensei Assault Girl", on the video-sharing website Niconico in 2018 and gained popularity with "Last Resort" a year later. Then, he released his debut extended play Ghost City Tokyo in December 2019.[2][3] Lilas Ikuta (later performing under the stage name Ikura in Yoasobi) is a singer-songwriter and a then member of the cover group Plusonica (2017–2021).[4] In 2016, she participated in the new artist training course, the Lesson, sponsored by Sony Music Entertainment Japan, and released her demo CD 15 no Omoi.[5] Later, Ikuta also released her first two EPs: Rerise (2018) and Jukebox (2019) through independent label After School.[6][7]
In mid 2019, Ayase received an offer from Yohei Yashiro and Shuya Yamamoto, Sony Music Entertainment Japan's producers, to collaborate on a project to produce songs inspired by short story submissions published on Monogatary.com, a social media website for creative writing owned by SMEJ.[8] During the discussion about vocalists, Ayase found Ikura on Instagram, where she uploaded her cover of Aimyon's "Kimi wa Rock o Kikanai".[9] He later checked her YouTube channel and contacted her directly to persuade her to form the duo.[10][11] The duo's name Yoasobi originates from the Japanese word yoasobi (夜遊び), which means "nightlife". Ayase, who came up with the name, explained that is a wish that the two could take on various playful challenges by comparing their individual career to daytime and Yoasobi's career to nighttime.[12] The duo uses the slogan "novel into music" (小説を音楽にする, shōsetsu o ongaku ni suru) to represent themselves.[13] Yoasobi announced their debut via teaser video on October 1.[14]
The first song released by Yoasobi is "Yoru ni Kakeru", based on the short story Thanatos no Yūwaku written by Mayo Hoshino, which won the novel contest Monocon 2019.[15] Its accompanying music video was initially uploaded via Ayase's YouTube channel on November 16, 2019, before the song was subsequently commercially released the next month on December 15.[16] During the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan, "Yoru ni Kakeru" went viral on social media,[17][10] including its The Home Take solo performance by Ikura,[18][19] bringing it to top several music streaming service charts in Japan.[20][21] Five months after its release, the song ascended to number one on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 for the first time,[22] and spent a total of six weeks atop the chart[23] of which three weeks were consecutive.[24] "Yoru ni Kakeru" finished 2020 as the year's top Japan Hot 100 song, making it the first non-CD single to top the year-end chart.[25] It was certified diamond for streaming by Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) for exceeding 500 million streams in Japan, becoming the first song in history to do so.[26] The song won the Song of the Year at the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards Japan[27] and the 2021 Space Shower Music Awards,[28] as well as the Silver Prize at the 2023 JASRAC Awards.[29]
Following their debut single, Yoasobi released "Ano Yume o Nazotte" on January 18, 2020. Like "Yoru ni Kakeru", the song is based on another Monocon 2019-winning short story by Sōta Ishiki, titled Yume no Shizuku to Hoshi no Hana.[30] The next single, "Halzion", based on Shunki Hashizume's Soredemo, Happy End, was released on May 11 as part of Suntory's "Immersive Song Project" to advertise energy drink Zone.[31] It was the duo's first collaboration with a professional novelist, whereas the first two were amateur writers.[32] In the second half of the year, they continually released three more singles. The first, "Tabun", was released on July 20 and based on the short story of the same name by Shinano, which won Yoasobi Contest Vol. 1.[33] Inspired by the manga series Blue Period and based on short story written by the brand Ao o Mikata ni, "Gunjō", featuring uncredited chorus of Plusonica, was released on September 1, as a background of Bourbon's Alfort Mini Chocolate commercial.[34] It is the duo's second song to be certified diamond for streaming by RIAJ.[35] On December 18, the duo released the song "Haruka", a collaboration with screenwriter Osamu Suzuki's short story Tsuki Ōji.[36]
On December 31, Yoasobi concluded 2020 at the 71st NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen with the debut performance of "Yoru ni Kakeru" as a duo, alongside band members, filmed at Bookshelf Theater, Kadokawa Culture Center in Tokorozawa.[37][38] All 2019–2020 singles were featured on the duo's debut EP The Book, released on January 6, 2021.[39] The EP expresses a theme of "reading CD" with binder package,[40] and additionally included the track "Encore", based on Yoasobi Contest Vol. 1-winning Sekai no Owari to, Sayonara no Uta by Kanami Minakami, and was used for a Google Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a (5G) advertisement.[41] The EP debuted at number two on both the Oricon Albums Chart and the Billboard Japan Hot Albums,[42][43] and has sold 150,000 CDs and 100,000 downloads as of 2021, the latter making the EP the only album to reach the milestone that year.[44][45] The Book was certified gold for both physical and digital release by RIAJ,[46][47] and won Special Award at the CD Shop Awards.[48]

Artistry
Yoasobi's musical style has been described as a mix of pop, rock, and electronic music;[144] Ayase has been influenced by '80s, '90s music, and K-pop, while Ikura by Western music like Disney songs, folk, and country.[10] They have also been compared to other musical acts like Yorushika and Zutomayo, being dubbed as neologism "Yakōsei" (夜好性, lit. "night-loving scene"), as all acts contain the word "夜" (pronounced ya, yo or yoru; meaning "night") in their name, release animated music videos, and have Vocaloid roots.[145][146] Even though their songs are based on fictional stories, Ayase interprets and writes their songs reflecting on his own feelings and experiences.[147] To make music for Yoasobi, Ayase creates a demo via a digital audio workstation on his laptop and uses Vocaloid voicebank from Hatsune Miku before recording Ikura's vocals, to prevent human's characteristics or personality.[147][148]
