<Comment from Chogakusei>

“Hello, I’m Chogakusei, and I’ve just released my first album Cho.

Along with this, on the 16th, the music video for Gatling Agitator, which was made with LOVETEN PROJECT and Karuki Mura, premiered on YouTube. This is one song on the album that I think everyone will really love.

I’m so happy to finally be able to release everything. I’ve been so excited to share my creations with everyone. I’d really like to thank LOVETEN for the lyric video, which came to fruition after tons of back-and-forth. Please give it a watch!

The strongest! The best! In the lead!”

  • [Interview] Popular Vocalist Chogakusei Releases Long-Awaited First Album ‘Cho’

    27.February.2023 | FEATURES / MUSIC

    Chogakusei is a vocalist who has attracted attention for the huge gap between the mysterious atmosphere of his Venetian mask and his aggressive voice. After releasing a single in January, the artist released his first full album Cho on February 15, 2023. We sat down to chat with Chogakusei about his current mental state as he continues to build serious momentum, and about his upcoming first solo concert scheduled for March at the Nippon Seinen-kan Hall.

     

     

    The Theme of the 1st Album is ‘Diversity’

     

    “The word ‘diversity’ can refer to utilizing elements from different people and cultures, but for the diversity used in this album, I focused more on breaking the rules and thinking outside of the box in a more general sense.”

     

    “Since this is my first major album, I felt like it was the fulfillment of a promise. At the same time, I didn’t want to be bound by that feeling. As you listen to each track, I think you’ll find each of them very colorful. So many different people participated in writing the lyrics–for example, the song Ingel was written by Yu Shinda of BURG HAMBURG BURG, and the Vocaloid producers Surii and PinocchioP also contributed. I hope everyone who listens will take note of the diverse group of creators who worked on the album.”

    Heading Towards his First Solo Concert ‘School Admission Briefing’

     

    −You have to admit, it’s a pretty unique title for a concert, isn’t it?

     

    “Since this is my first live performance period, I wanted it to have the theme of a self-introduction, so ‘School Admission Briefing’ seemed to fit, given my name. It’s an unusual title, for sure. (Laugh) I hope fans who attend will feel what it’s like to be a Chogakusei (Super Student). The details of the show are still a secret, though!”

     

    A Vocal Style Inspired by Fan Comments

     

    –You’re popular for your deep, aggressive voice. How did your vocal style come about?

     

    “Honestly, I decided on this style after reading comments from fans posted around the time I released my cover of the song Darling. That’s when I started posting on YouTube more frequently and I got a ton of feedback. Like, people would point out the parts they liked–the minute and the second. After scrolling through all of that, I decided on my current style. In a way, how I sing was completely created by the fans.”

     

    Tons of international fans have commented on your vocal style. What’s the secret of your popularity?

     

    “I’d love to know myself! (Laugh) Please tell me! In my head, I know that I have this slightly rough, low voice that leads to a more masculine singing style. I also put a lot of thought into the costumes and makeup for each song, so a lot of comments tend to focus on that too. They like my style.”

     

    “I want to try styles from around the world.”

     

    “I’d like to try a ton of unique styles from around the world in the future, like Chinese and Arabic styles. I’m up for the challenge of representing different countries and cultures! I hope to incorporate ideas from fans around the world too, so leave them in the comments. I don’t care what language you speak, please tell me about your country and what you’d like to see!”
