about
Asuka Kuroiwa 黒岩あすか was born on February 10, 1996, in Osaka. She began playing classical guitar in 2015 and released her first album, Wanan, in 2017. In 2019, she simultaneously released two albums: Reimei with her band, Kuroiwa Asuka to Yoru, and Hikari to Kage under her solo name as her second album. In 2021, she released her third album, Nagasugita Haru, featuring Seiichi Yamamoto. Her live performance with Kuroiwa Asuka to Yoru at Shibuya WWW in 2023 was captured on the album, Yoru ga Kuru. For Kaibutsu (2024), she has brought together a band featuring Keizo Suhara (bass), senoo rickey (drums), hama (guitar), and HEAT (guitar). The album unfolds like a story told over time, with songs that evoke the hours from dusk until the dawn when the sky begins to lighten. Blending tracks like the electric guitar-accompanied Yoru no Umi, the album comprises seven songs that weave together her whispered vocals and psychedelic guitar-driven sound. The contrast between the band's vibrant tones and her delicate voice creates an immersive listening experience, like a lone light guiding you through the darkness—a deeply emotional and committed work.
