History

Hitorie debuted under Hinichijou Records (非日常レコーズ) in 2012, a subsidiary of Sony Music Associated Records since 2014.[6][7] Since 2019, Shinoda (シノダ) has been the lead vocalist and guitarist for the group, succeeding previous frontman wowaka, who died on April 5, 2019, of acute heart failure.[8]

Since wowaka was a Vocaloid producer, during his time in hitorie, he often performed his Vocaloid songs in live performances[9][10] which can be found on live albums and also did covers such as "Unknown Mother Goose"[11][12] and "Nichijou to Chikyuu no Gakubuchi".[13]

Shinoda (シノダ) was using the pseudonym "Shoudouteki no Hito (衝動的の人)" (impulsive person) who wrote and sings his own arrangement of Touhou along with "cakebox".[14] Ygarshy (イガラシ) is also the support bassist of "Wasureranneyo (忘れらんねえよ) (Don't Forget)" and was active in Touhou band "Sekken'ya (石鹸屋) (Soap Shop)", a member of "JUDGEMENT" unit along with ichigo, the vocalist of "Kishida Cult", and providing music for "Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Club".[15][16][17] Yumao (ゆーまお) is the support drummer of Pedro and was active in "yasashikute (優しくして♪) (be gentle)" and part of Kagerou Project.[18]
