Novel Core
Tokyo native. Rapper and singer-songwriter.
Novel Core launched as the inaugural artist on BMSG, the management and label founded by SKY-HI.
Known for combining elite rap skills and a sophisticated vocal technique, he connects with generations through genuine, relatable expression and powerful, no-holds-barred live performances.
His signature “mixture sound” is built on a core of hip-hop and rock, seamlessly weaving in various subcultures. This innovative, genre-defying freedom has earned him massive acclaim. Every album he’s released has hit #1 on major Japanese charts, cementing his status.
In January 2024, he successfully sold out a solo concert at the Nippon Budokan, setting the stage for his first-ever solo arena concert in February 2025. Whether playing massive venues or touring local live venues, his overwhelming live presence and sincerity forge a fierce trust with his fans.
Novel Core directs all of his own creative output. From the overall live show production to costume styling and artwork design, his sharp vision drives every element. His keen sensibility is praised far beyond the music world.
His influence extends deep into the fashion industry, where he has been featured as a model for top luxury houses like FERRAGAMO and ETRO, continuously expanding his artistic domain.
Driven by a profound love for diverse cultures and proven talent—music, fashion, and art—Novel Core is the new-generation mixture artist leading Gen Z.
