Hitsujibungaku

Hitsujibungaku is a Japanese alternative rock band featuring Moeka Shiotsuka (vocals, guitar), Yurika Kasai (bass), and Hiroa Fukuda (drums). The band was formed in 2017, made its major debut in 2020 on F.C.L.S. (Sony Music Labels) and is described as having a delicate yet powerful sound.

In 2023, their song “more than words” was selected as the ending theme for the TV anime JUJUTSU KAISEN: Shibuya Incident. The song has since surpassed 100 million streams in Japan and reached No.1 on Apple Music and iTunes in Japan. On December 6th, 2023, they released their 3rd major album “12 hugs (like butterflies)”, which includes the single, “More than Words.” “Burning,” released in August 2024, became the ending theme for the second season of the TV anime, Oshi no Ko.

In April 2023, their largest solo concert to date, “Hitsujibungaku LIVE 2024 III”, held at Yokohama Arena, sold out in just 3 minutes after tickets went on sale. They also completed their first-ever Asian tour, “Hitsujibungaku ASIA TOUR 2024”, which visited 11 cities across the continent. In May 2023, they were selected as one of the “10 Rising Neo-J-Pop Artists to Watch in 2024” on the official Grammy Awards website.

J. Michael Tatum

Evoto

Nurtured on anime classics from a tender age, he spent more years than he cares to remember in what might charitably be called free-fall before landing, mostly by accident, smack dab on the industry of his dreams.

Cast as Rikichi in 2005’s Samurai 7, Tatum’s luck has held long enough for him to hoist his flag on a slew of dream roles, most notably Kyoya Otori in Ouran High School Host Club, suave, demonic Sebastian Michaelis in Black Butler, Tomoe from Kamisama Kiss, Kraft Lawrence from Spice & Wolf, and Okarin Rintarou from Steins;Gate. Tatum can also be heard in My Hero Academia as Teyna Iida, Louis in Fire Emblem: Engage, Moran in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and more recently asCid Highwind in Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth.

Other characters the man still can’t believe he’s had the crazy luck to play include: Eneru in One Piece, Ryosuke Takahashi in Initial D, Zarbon in Dragon Ball Z Kai, Scar in Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Acnologia in Fairy Tale, and Erwin Smith in Attack on Titan. His video game credits include Sir Hammerlock from the Borderlands franchise, Julius Kresnik from Tales of Xillia 2, Mr. Foster from Killing Floor 2, Kelvin and Pendles from Battleborn, a slew of characters from SMITE, and many, many more. And the list continues to grow!

Ever the workaholic, Tatum is currently burning the midnight oil on a number of exciting projects due for release later this year. And before you ask, the “J” is silent.
