▼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.
Their debut single, “xx” (pronounced: Bye-Bye), combines a cute yet mysterious and expressive voice with a groovy, pop-infused, and sophisticated sound, creating a track that feels like an invitation into the night city.
Look forward to discovering more of SZNO’s world as it gradually unfolds with each music release.
