JAPAN

redraw

A duo consisting of producer dro and vocalist Rui, whose mission is to “redefine J-POP from the other side of the globe.” The group was formed in February 2024 when dro—who was producing music in a U.S. college dorm—met Rui in Japan via X. Centered around J-POP melodies, their music spans diverse genres such as rock, hip-hop, and orchestral sounds, while consistently crafting a cohesive narrative and visual experience. They won the Excellence Award at the SDR-hosted “Super Artist Audition” and were selected for TuneCore Japan’s “Independent Artist 100 2026.” Their song “Karma” was featured as the opening theme for the nationwide ABC TV and TV Asahi network drama *My Fiction*. Starting in 2026, they began performing live with a full band, expanding the music they cultivated online onto the stage.
