AKASAKI, a 19-year-old singer-songwriter, has officially joined UMJ’s EMI Records, kicking off his major-label career with his debut single, “Ton Chin Kan” 🎉
ABOUT “Ton Chin Kan”
“Ton Chin Kan” (original Japanese title: トンチンカン) marks both the final song AKASAKI releases as a teenager and the beginning of his major-label career.
Premiering live at his headline show at LINE CUBE SHIBUYA on July 23, the track blends AKASAKI’s honest reflections as he reaches a major milestone in life and embarks on his major-label debut with a catchy yet emotional sound embodying the spirit of Reiwa Kayō (Reiwa-era pop), making it a defining statement of who AKASAKI is today.
ABOUT AKASAKI
AKASAKI first broke out with “Bunny Girl”, which went viral across Asia and beyond, reaching Spotify Viral charts in 10+ markets—including No. 1 in Korea, No. 2 in Taiwan and Hong Kong, and No. 25 on the Global Viral chart. The track has since surpassed 100 million Spotify streams, while follow-up single “Kajitsu” further expanded his international momentum.
Following the breakout success of “Bunny Girl”, AKASAKI became the youngest Japanese solo artist ever to complete an Asia tour while still in his teens, selling out every show on his 9-city “KONNICHIWA” tour.
