RecoChoku Unveils 'Breakthrough' Artists for April 2025
In an exciting development for music enthusiasts, RecoChoku has launched a new initiative named 'Breakthrough', aimed at showcasing the most promising new artists each month. As part of this engagement, RecoChoku has named its two standout new acts for April 2025: sorato and Iwankof. This initiative not only highlights their music but also leverages various platforms to amplify their reach.
About the 'Breakthrough' Initiative
This new monthly feature by RecoChoku emphasizes the importance of young talent in the music industry. Each month, RecoChoku staff selects two artists: one is a newcomer while the second is sourced from the free music app 'Eggs', known for promoting a wide range of indie and emerging artists. This initiative aims to introduce their music to a broad audience through dedicated playlists on platforms like 'dヒッツ®' and extensive promotions across social media.
Artists of April 2025: sorato and Iwankof
sorato
One of the featured artists for this month is sorato, a singer-songwriter from Nagasaki, who has made a name for himself via a collaborative project with THE NINTH APOLLO and TOY'S FACTORY/VIA. Before his major debut under the name sorato in February 2025, he was known for his engaging solo performances. His song '星に願う' is particularly noteworthy as it serves as the ending theme for the anime titled 'The Genius Healer Who Was Exiled After Being Useless Now Lives Joyfully As a Dark Healer'. The song reflects his personal journey and fandom for anime music. Looking ahead, sorato is set to participate in numerous events and festivals throughout 2025, so keep an eye on his activities!

Iwankof
The second artist spotlighted this month is Iwankof, a multifaceted singer-songwriter known for producing, writing, and arranging his music. His unique sound combines J-POP and J-ROCK elements with trap beats, showcasing versatility and creativity reminiscent of modern trends in the music industry. Maintaining an air of mystery, Iwankof is noted for his masked performance style and anonymity regarding his personal details such as age and birthplace. His latest track, 'summer dreams', epitomizes his innovative approach, and he is expected to kick off his live performances in July 2025.
