Introducing Akane Kanzaki and Misaki Hatsusegawa

Akane Kanzaki and Misaki Hatsusegawa

A voice as powerful as it is unique, Akane Kanzaki joins RIOT MUSIC and their Meteopolis sub-label. A wildcard pick whose performance style is as audacious as it is enchanting, she embodies “passion” while proudly taking command of the microphone.

Misaki Hatsusegawa started out at Meteopolis as one of their first two trainees but quickly proved to the Virtual Music Agency she had what it took to join the main line-up. Beyond her singing, distinctively spunky and energetic, she’ll be putting her dance talents to good use. Look forward to seeing them on their solo channels and at Satellite Live Vol 1.!
