▼About SZNO
SZNO is a multidimensional artist project that operates in both the real and virtual realms. It was born from a collaboration between Bandai Namco Music Live, known for its Lantis label and expertise in producing music content like the Love Live! series, and MusicRay’n, a Sony Music Group company renowned for discovering and nurturing talent such as Sphere, TrySail, and CHiCO.
A stellar lineup of creators has come together for this project, including Jin, the creator of the Kagerou Project, and Ritao (PHASE STUDIO), who has been involved in creative work for KAF and Project SEKAI: Colorful Stage! feat. Hatsune Miku.
As new songs and story videos are released, the world of SZNO is gradually revealed.
SZNO has been gaining prominence, with the official music video for their debut single “xx” (pronounced: Bye-Bye) reaching one million views within three weeks of its release on August 24.
Their second single, “flag”, offers a different vibe from “xx”. With its solid electro sound and provocative, motivating lyrics that challenge the indecisiveness of modern individuals, it showcases SZNO’s bold girl-crush persona. It’s a must-hear and must-see.
