Emerging from Tokyo’s underground scene in 2015, yahyel is a four-member collective crafting a soundscape that defies borders. Comprising Shun Ikegai, Miru Shinoda, Kazuya Oi, and Kento Yamada, the band fuses bass music influences from across eras and regions with Ikegai’s raw, ironic lyricism and portraits of life in the Far East.
yahyel’s music occupies a distinctive space—cold and synthetic on the surface, yet beating with something deeply physical underneath. Their aesthetic has often been described as a “blue flame” for its striking contrast and intensity.
Each member brings a distinct creative perspective. Yamada is an acclaimed visual artist and director, Shinoda is an in-demand producer collaborating across genres, and Oi is a drummer renowned within Japan’s music communities. This multidimensionality informs yahyel’s immersive live shows and evolving sonic palette.
