▼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.
Showcasing a range of styles with their debut single “xx,” second single “flag,” and third single “21g,” SZNO has captured attention, with the music videos for “xx” and “flag” each surpassing one million views. Their fourth single, “Mata ne,” is a ballad that wraps listeners in a bittersweet yet warm mood, carried by tender, compassionate, and crystal-clear vocals.
The accompanying official music video features SZNO appearing outdoors for the first time, contemporary dance elements, and connections to their first single, “xx,” making it a must-see.
