### YU-KA Profile

Born in 2000 in Okinawa, YU-KA is a next-generation singer-songwriter. Originally from Okinawa, she spent her early childhood in the United States and Switzerland. At the age of 15, she picked up the acoustic guitar, and at 17, she began creating original music.

Being a fan of movies and books from an early age, she started her current musical journey after winning a special award in an audition to create the theme song for a movie she discovered at that time.

In June 2022, she made her major debut with the song "lullaby." In February 2023, her release "Hoshizukiyo" was chosen as the theme song for the drama 'Hoshifuru Yoru ni,' earning top positions on various charts and surpassing 400 million digital cumulative plays. In May, she released her first Digital EP after the major debut, titled "Alone Together." In the same year, she also performed at SXSW in Texas, USA, gaining attention both domestically and internationally.

While the fundamental aspect of her music production was originally confronting indescribable emotions and conflicts alone through music, as her activities expanded, she evolved to wanting to convey her messages through music and share them with more people.

With a musical style that floats between Western and Japanese music, characterized by a global sense, YU-KA continues to create songs that gently accompany listeners. As she herself undergoes changes, she strives to deliver her music to the world, expressing emotions and conflicts that are difficult to put into words.

### YU-KA Commentary

> I wanted to capture the charm of Rouge, who fights as an artificial human with strength, a cool and straightforward gaze, and at the same time, possesses a soft side as a lovely girl, all in one song. I mixed English and Japanese, experimented with singing styles, and created this song with excitement and passion, so I hope you enjoy listening to the details!
