Singer-songwriter Minami has been in the spotlight lately, performing the opening theme for the new Urusei Yatsura anime series alongside MAISONdes and SAKURAmoti. In October 2022, she also performed the vocals on the mash-up track Suisei x Konyawa Boogie Back nice vocal meets Yuri on Ice. The track was used in a hugely popular Suntory Horoyoi commercial.
Following this wave of popularity, Minami has released the song Rude, Lose Dance on all major streaming services! The singer also announced that her upcoming EP LOSE LOOSE DAY, her first EP in over a year and a half, will be released on March 22.
Minami made her major label debut in January 2019 with Kawaki wo Ameku, the opening theme for the Domestic Girlfriend anime series.
Since her debut, the singer has become popular both in Japan and abroad, with her YouTube channel filled with supportive comments from fans around the world. Her new song Rude, Lose Dance has been chosen as the opening theme for the second season of the Record of Ragnarok anime series, now available to stream on Netflix worldwide.
The fast-paced animated music video for the song, along with the jacket cover, was created by Kazuki Oekaki, a manga artist and illustrator.
