Akeboshi Yoshio’s solo project.

After graduating from high school, he went abroad to study at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts in Liverpool, England.
While still a student at LIPA, he made his debut in 2002 with the mini album, “Stoned Town”.
The lead song of the album, “Wind”, was used as the first ending theme of the anime “Naruto”.
After releasing three indie albums, he made his debut with his first major record label, Epic Records Japan, in 2005. He would then go on to release 6 albums with Epic Records including “Meet Along the Way”. The full album features his street recordings with local musicians during a month-long trip he took from England to Ireland.
In 2014, he founded his own record label, RoofTop Owl, and released the album “After the rain clouds go”. He personally handled the lyrics, composition, mixing, and mastering in the album. His latest release to date is the mini album, “a little boy”, released in 2019.

In addition to composing the background and theme music of movies such as “All Around Us” and “Three Stories of Love” (both directed by Ryosuke Hashiguchi), “LYING TO MOM” (directed by Katsumi Nojiri), and “Day After Day (directed by Mika Kawase), he has also written countless commercial songs for companies such as Shiseido, Tokyo Gas, ANA, Toyota, Panasonic, Sapporo Beer, ZWEI, Canon, KOSE, SONY, UNIQLO, and LOWRYS FARM.
