[SUIS FROM Yorushika]

In charge of the vocals of the band “Yorshika” that started working in 2017.
Her transparent singing voice and the ability to express herself, which change according to the music, have been highly evaluated by various quarters, and not only the activities of Yorska, but also the solo activities such as the theme song and narration of the movie.

<Comment from Suis>

I love Pokemon, but I don’t know much about Kairyu… it was the beginning.
After hearing the talk, I watched “The Movie’s Pokemon Mewtwo Strikes Back” for the first time. It was a great movie and I cried.
However, as for Kairyu, there are still many mysteries, as he only knows how to make a pretty powerful run-up before he flies.
Next, I watched the 10th episode of the anime “Pocket Monsters” (2019), “Kairyu’s paradise, Hakuryu’s Trials!” Of course, Kairyu in “Kairyu and Yubinya-san” is not meantly Kairyu.
There was a time when I thought about what the sky was like, when I sang it.
(But at the time of the recording, Kairyu was just adorable. Pokémon is a really beloved creature…)

Also, Evan There was a moment when I struggled with how much I could express the beauty of CALL’s songs and Ameko Kodama’s Japanese lyrics. There was also a timing when I could convey my thoughts on the song carefully, and I was able to face “myself” again and sing with all my heart.
I’m still immature and life-size, but I think it would be nice if I could resonate with that part as well.

By all means, I would be happy if you could listen to the story of “Kairyu and Yubinya-san” as well as everyone’s own story.

[EVAN CALL]

Studied film scoring at Berklee College of Music and started composing in Japan in 2012.
He is active in a wide variety of fields, including video and music, providing songs for vocal songs, writing lyrics, and singing.
His main works include the NHK Taiga drama “13 people of Kamakura”, the anime “Violet Evergarden”, “My Happy Marriage”, “Funeral Freeren”.

<Comment from Evan Call>

Ever since I was a child, I’ve loved Pokemon, collect cards, enjoy games, and watch anime without fail.
I was really happy when I received this story, and I was surprised that it was just the timing when I played “Pocket Monster Scarlett” last year and watched the anime “Pocket Monsters”.
While touching on the theme of this time, I felt the color of my music and the natural overlap, so I immediately started writing songs.
The essence of “friendship and help” that I feel is a big theme of Pokemon is beautifully depicted in “Kairyu and Yubinya-san”, and I especially feel strongly about the insert song sung by suis.
I am proud of my life as a part of the work because I put my heart into the music while being conscious of the dynamism of adventure.
