Recochoku Announces Breakthrough Artists for October 2025

In an exciting move to spotlight emerging talent in the music industry, Recochoku, headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, has announced its latest selections for the “Breakthrough” program. This initiative, led by the company’s president, Tohru Itabashi, aims to introduce two promising new artists each month. For October 2025, the highlighted artists are Garari and Domino Stop, both of whom are set to make significant waves in the music scene.

Introducing the Breakthrough Artist Selections

Recochoku continues to support new musical voices through its “Breakthrough” initiative. Each month, one artist is selected by Recochoku staff, while the second artist is chosen from the popular indie platform, Eggs, which connects listeners with an array of indie music. This approach not only brings music lovers closer to fresh talent but also promotes diversity within the industry.

October's Featured Artists:

1. Recochoku's Selection: Garari
Garari, an up-and-coming singer-songwriter, has made a name for himself since beginning his career in 2022 as a former systems engineer. Known for his captivating sound, he has been recognized in various musical forums, including the TV Asahi music program “EIGHT-JAM”. His recently released single, “Saa Kanpai!” (Cheers!), was crafted specifically for the TV Tokyo drama “Banshu no Ryugi 4: Aki Fuyu-hen.” This track serves as an uplifting anthem, urging listeners to raise a glass to self-appreciation through its heartfelt lyrics.

You can explore Garari’s work further on his Recochoku artist page.

2. Eggs’ Selection: Domino Stop
Hailing from a rock’n’roll background, Domino Stop consists of four talented musicians: Ryo Nasu (vocals and guitar), Kentaro Miyata (guitar), Ryoga Kakuta (bass), and Eita Saeki (drums). Their debut mini-album, “Wagahai wa Hito de Aru” (I Am a Human), features six tracks that delve deep into the imperfect nature of humanity, capturing the nuances of unspoken love, lingering regrets, and failures in life. This album serves not only as their introduction to listeners but as an ode to preserving the innocence and raw emotions that define our shared human experience.
Check out their music on both the Recochoku artist page and the Eggs artist page.

Supporting Emerging Artists Through Music

To further amplify the visibility of the chosen artists, Recochoku actively shares their music across multiple platforms, including curated playlists on dHits, and features on the dedicated “Breakthrough” web page. This initiative is part of Recochoku's broader vision to energize the music market and facilitate encounters between fans and artists.

Additionally, Recochoku has compiled a special playlist titled “Breakthrough Hits,” featuring previously selected breakout artists from the past few months, providing listeners with an eclectic mix of sounds designed to inspire and entertain.
