Introducing UnknownRecords

In a world where musical boundaries are continuously pushed, UnknownRecords has emerged as a fresh force in the music landscape. Founded by Blackbox Inc., headquartered in Shinjuku, Tokyo, this unique music label aims to explore the limitless possibilities of creativity, constantly questioning the 'if' in our lives. The brand's slogan—‘The unknown comes from beyond the screen’—perfectly encapsulates its ethos.

The launch event, known as ‘UnknownRecords Nexus -淵源-, held on November 22, 2025, at GRIT at Shibuya, was a groundbreaking celebration highlighting the label’s vision and the talents of its roster. With a lineup that included *KASUMi, Lily, and Yui, alongside media mix intellectual properties LiveRevolt and LiveRevolt Re:venge, the event promised a journey through sound and emotion.

An Explosive Start with DJ Sets

The festivities commenced with an electrifying performance by Hirotaka Hayakawa, the head of Rebrast, who set the stage on fire with his remixes from popular tracks within UnknownRecords and the LiveRevolt series. Within moments, the crowd’s energy skyrocketed, setting a perfect tone for the evening.

Next, DJ GUNSHI, a veteran in the scene, followed suit with skillful turntable wizardry that captivated the audience. His set not only showcased the vibrant spirit of the festival but ramped up the venue's energy to new heights.

Completing the trio was Aki Izumi, the producer behind UnknownRecords and overseer of LiveRevolt*. His carefully curated selection of nostalgic anime songs drew roaring applause from the audience, solidifying the connection between the performers and the crowd.

The Live Performance Segment

As the evening escalated, the spotlight shifted onto the live performances. KASUMi opened with a stunning rendition of ‘Tsukiakari no Michishirube’, effortlessly igniting the already warm atmosphere. Following her was Lily, whose enchanting performance of ‘Heikousen’ entranced everyone, showcasing her ethereal voice.

Yui's high-energy performance of ‘Breaking Out’ captivated the audience, exhibiting a blend of raw power and melody. The trio then united to deliver ‘DOGMA’, captivating the crowd with their harmonious challenge of solo verses, laying down a bold statement of their artistic identity.

The subsequent segment witnessed the exciting entries of LiveRevolt Re:venge’s three units, each delivering a mix of original songs and covers, keeping the excitement level high. Each group demonstrated their individuality, ensuring that every moment of the show was filled with breathtaking performances.

A Moment of Revelation

As the night progressed, the excitement reached new heights when a surprise announcement revealed that LiveRevolt would be hosting a significant live event, ‘Re:Flection’ on May 16, 2026, following a seven-year hiatus. Additionally, an All-Star Live Event was scheduled for March 7, 2026.
