Reol Appears as Official Guest at Manga Barcelona 32
Japanese singer, songwriter, and producer Reol has established a global following with her genre-blending electronic and pop sound as she continues an active touring and release schedule.
Global Streaming Milestones and Historical YouTube Benchmarks
Reol has built an expansive musical identity since her debut in 2012, crossing boundaries between electronic music, rock, and Japanese pop. Her catalog has accumulated more than 1 billion streams worldwide. In 2019, she achieved a major industry milestone by becoming the first Japanese female solo artist to surpass one million subscribers on YouTube.
That momentum continued into subsequent years. YouTube selected her as the face of its global “Artist on the Rise” campaign, while her hit track “THE SIXTH SENSE (第六感)” crossed the 100 million stream threshold. Her work has frequently intersected with popular anime series, including providing the ending theme “Sakigake (切っ先)” for Rurouni Kenshin in 2023.
Extensive Touring and Recent Studio Releases
The announcement follows a demanding live performance schedule. In 2023, Reol launched her most ambitious project to date, the “Reol Oneman Live 2023/24 ‘UNBOX’ black/pure” tour, which completely sold out across 17 cities in Japan and six additional shows throughout Asia. This run culminated in a landmark performance at Tokyo’s Nippon Budokan.
Her creative output expanded further with the release of the record “Rethorica”. The project features notable collaborations, including “DEAD CENTER” recorded alongside LiSA, and “RE RESCUE”, which serves as the opening theme for Blue Exorcist: Beyond the Snow Saga.
International Appearance at Manga Barcelona 32
As Manga Barcelona 32 welcomes her as an official guest, attendees will experience a creator who actively shapes contemporary Japanese pop culture and anime soundtrack composition. Her appearance bridges her domestic success in venues like the Nippon Budokan with her growing international fan base across Europe and beyond.
