Synth-pop band tiger bae, formed in Tokyo by members of HOTEL MEXICO and vocalist Yuco, made their debut with the mini-album “Calm Like This Love” in 2022. The music video for the track “Deeply,” featuring actress Ami Tomite, has garnered over 80,000 views. Remixes by Bark Bark Disco and JOON, both from Jonny Jewel’s label “ITALIANS DO IT BETTER,” also gained attention. In 2023, they released the single “White Highlights.” Their 2024 release “Distant Calls” is a romantic indie dance track, maintaining their dreamy, melancholic atmosphere, with a refreshingly bittersweet melody and a captivating soundscape. The lyrics revolve around the theme of “a dream seen within a dream.”
