A 24-year-old rapper and singer-songwriter from Tokyo, he is the first artist to join SKY-HI's management/label "BMSG." While possessing exceptional rap skills and delicate vocal technique, his unpretentious delivery and powerful live performances have garnered buzz, drawing strong support from a wide range of generations. His unique fusion sound, centered on hip-hop and rock, blends various subcultures to create a genre-free, free-flowing expression, earning him acclaim. He has firmly established his reputation, with every album he has released reaching number one on Japan's major charts. In January 2024, he held a sold-out solo concert at the Nippon Budokan, and in February 2025, he performed his first solo arena show. In addition to large-scale performances, he also tours live houses across the country, building a strong following with his overwhelming live energy and sincere attitude. Novel Core also personally directs all creative aspects, from the overall production of live shows to costume styling and artwork design, and his keen sensibilities have earned him acclaim beyond the music scene. He has also attracted attention from the fashion industry, having been chosen as a model for top fashion houses such as FERRAGAMO and ETRO, further expanding his range of expression as an artist. With his love for a wide variety of cultures, including music, fashion, and artwork, and the talent to back it up, he is a new generation fusion artist who is leading the Z generation.
