The project brings together a star cast of creators, including Jin, the creator of Kagerou Project, and Ritao (PHASE STUDIO), who has participated in the creation of KAF and Project SEKAI: Colorful Stage! feat. Hatsune Miku.
Their debut single “xx” (pronounced: Bye-Bye) combines a lovely, mysterious and expressive sound with a funky, pop-y, sophisticated sound to create a song that feels like you’re stepping into the night. invitation to the city.
With each release, the world of SZNO gradually unfolds, and we look forward to discovering more.
