NAQT VANE, Produced by Globally Renowned Anime/Movie/TV Composer Hiroyuki Sawano, Release English Version of Inspiring Second Digital Single ‘Vane’

NAQT VANE released a new English-language version of their second digital single ‘VANE’ on November 16, with a full set of lyrics in English and titled 'VANE (English Ver.)'.

Just as with NAQT VANE themselves, the song has a clear concept: To create an uplifting tailwind that will guide those who have a challenger spirit. Vocalist Harukaze's strong yet gentle singing voice has your back, delivering an inspiring message for those of us who strive to live life to its fullest. While the song was originally released in Japanese, the English version was produced in order to deliver this motivational message to listeners beyond Japan and around the world.

SAWANO, NAQT VANE's overall producer, recently provided the song ‘Tot Musica’ for solo artist Ado, which was used in the hit movie ‘ONE PIECE FILM RED’. SAWANO has a strong fan base in North America, Europe and Asia, which he has built up through his work on numerous anime productions, along with his success as a solo artist that led to a headline performance at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Shanghai in 2019. Vocalist Harukaze, meanwhile, is fluent in English and has tried her hand at a wide range of musical activity, such as performing as the opener for Callum Scott's first ever concert in Japan. When NAQT VANE inevitably begin to tour, it seems likely they will reach regions across the world.

Following their debut in September with ‘Break Free’, NAQT VANE are planning a steady stream of new material, so look out for future announcements. Stay glued to the group's official social media accounts (https://bio.to/NAQTVANE) for more.

May all the challengers out there create a tailwind for others to ride, and ride in the tailwinds created by others, supporting one another as we soar in pursuit of limitless potential in our daily lives. With such a positive manifesto, NAQT VANE will surely have a strong influence on likeminded music lovers the world over. Keep an eye on this group's future, as they help lay the foundations for a major movement in music culture.

“A team project breathing a wind of change”

NAQT VANE is a team music project featuring vocalist Harukaze, who has returned to Japan after spending her school days in the United States, along with overall production from Hiroyuki Sawano and artwork by Classic 6.

Harukaze | Vocals
Born in Hokkaido in 1998, Harukaze left Japan at age 15 to attend high school and college abroad. While studying Music Business in Los Angeles, she got a taste of a music culture that was different from what she'd experienced in Japan, and began to make music with people she met in the local scene.

In 2018, she released her first single 'Summer Time (Feat. Roz)', followed by her second single 'Mr. Secret' and in winter 2020 the EP ‘Best Regards’, before returning to Japan to begin the next phase of her music career. She became involved in NAQT VANE after meeting Hiroyuki Sawano in 2021.
